Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract

Lavandula Angustifolia Extract is obtained from the flowers and aerial parts of true lavender, primarily cultivated in Mediterranean regions and high-altitude areas. This extract contains a complex mixture of polyphenols, flavonoids, tannins, and trace amounts of essential oil components including linalool and linalyl acetate, which contribute to its soothing, antioxidant, and mild antimicrobial properties. Formulators favor this extract over lavender essential oil when seeking the botanical's skin-calming and antioxidant benefits without the strong aromatic intensity or potential sensitization concerns associated with high concentrations of volatile compounds.
