Stories from Nature
Laurus Nobilis belongs to the Lauraceae family, from which Laurel Essential Oil is extracted, known for its skin-balancing properties. It is an evergreen shrub native to Mediterranean regions, where it grows wild. For the ancients, it was the tree consecrated to the Sun-Apollo; heroes, geniuses, and sages would crown their heads with its leaves. In fact, it was believed that its leaves possessed the power of divination and could ward off bad luck and contagious diseases.
In Greek mythology, the nymph Daphne (laurel) was the first love of the god Apollo. To escape the god’s advances, the young woman asked her mother, Gaia (the Earth), to transform her into a laurel tree. Apollo then decided to honor this plant by making it evergreen and dedicating it to himself. Since then, it has become a symbol of glory and triumph in times of war.
Laurel Essential Oil promotes sebum balance by regulating the reactivity of the skin’s surface and dermis. This essence excels in treatments designed to support the hair during occasional or seasonal episodes of hair loss.
