Stories from Nature
The common name “lavender,” by which we usually refer to this plant, derives from the Latin “lavare” (lavandus, lavanda, lavandum = “that which must be washed”), as it was widely used in ancient times to cleanse the body. It was used as an ingredient in the preparation of talismans and good-luck charms, in magical and esoteric rituals, both as a fragrance for water and spaces—as in Roman times—especially in thermal waters—and in the preparation of infusions for hair and skin care.
Lavender flowers have the unique quality of continuing to release their fragrance even after they have been dried, which is why they are often used to scent linens. Today, lavender is widely used in perfumery, cosmetics, herbal medicine, and phytotherapy.
Lavender Glycerine Extract is derived from the flowers of the lavender plant, a symbol of Mediterranean flora and known for its unmistakable aromatic profile. This extract boasts excellent soothing, calming, and relaxing properties, making it a preferred ingredient for the care of delicate skin.
In the field of cosmetics, the extract is incorporated into products designed for facial, body, and hair care, with the aim of providing relief to the skin and scalp in cases of localized redness or irritation.
