4 Lavender & Rose Products & Their Benefits
Lavender and rose are so much more than just pretty flowers with a sweet scent. The health benefits of these amazing natural remedies seem to know no bounds. Today we’re sharing 4 products and their benefits with you.
So just what are lavender & rose used for? And what do they do?
Read on to learn about the benefits and why we paired these two scents together in our handcrafted products for February’s self-care boxes.
These two scents together don’t just smell nice. They’re made up of hundreds of soothing natural compounds, and when you inhale them or apply to your skin, it can have a profound effect on both your mind and your body. Our memories are stored in our ‘emotional brain’. That’s why the scent of cookies baking can quickly trigger a memory from childhood. Which can instantly trigger a mood, emotion, or physical reaction. And it’s why just one whiff of lavender and/or rose can often make you immediately feel calmer and more relaxed.
Using these essential oils in products have so many benefits. Of course you can not make any health claims on essential oil. But they have been known to and possibly may help with many health issues.
Here are several things that lavender is known for:

Lavender & Rose Bath Bomb
There are three main bath bomb benefits: they make a pleasant sensory experience; helping you to relax and creating a calm mental state, they can help dissolve sebaceous wastes (which helps fight acne), and finally they can hydrate the skin. After a long hard day, bath bombs are just what you need and a perfect way to relax.
Lavender & Rose Mist
Because our formula includes witch hazel and rose water hydrosol, this creates a wonderful skin toner. Skin toners help to balance and restore PH, tone and tighten the skin, helps to cleanse the skin, toners can control excessive oiliness as well as hydrate excessive dryness and can calm stressed and inflamed skin.
Lavender & Rose Massage Oil
One of our favorite oils to use for massage oil, is jojoba oil. This oil is known for many benefits, such as, moisturizing, antibacterial, antioxidant, noncomedogenic, hypoallergenic, helps control sebum production, may help promote collagen synthesis, may help speed up wound healing, may soothe eczema, psoriasis, and other dry skin conditions, may help soothe sunburns, may help treat acne, may reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and finally may minimize the appearance of scars. Pairing this with lavender and rose essential oils offered double the benefits.
Lavender & Rose Salt Scrub
In this handcrafted recipe, we used Himalayan salt which can help tone and soften skin’s texture. It calms irritated, itchy, and rough skin due to its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Moreover, its cleansing characteristic helps improve the skin’s health and reduces the appearance of dark spots and may even scrub away aches and pains.
