Lavandula Angustifolia Water – Cosmetic Uses in Skin Care
What Is Lavandula Angustifolia Water?
Lavandula Angustifolia Water is an aqueous solution of the steam distillate obtained from lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). It is produced from the flower buds of the plant, which belongs to the Labiatae family.
The material is obtained as the condensate produced during the distillation of lavender essential oil. It contains water-soluble constituents together with a small amount of essential oil and has the characteristic fresh, clean scent of lavender.
Cosmetic Applications
Lavandula Angustifolia Water is particularly suitable for skin care formulations where a gentle botanical water and lavender sensory profile are desired.
It can be used:
- As a facial tonic or toner
- In skin-soothing formulations
- In blends intended for irritated-looking skin
- In general skin care products
- In products where a fresh lavender scent is desirable
Its traditional use as a gentle tonic and its soothing properties have contributed to the long-standing use of lavender-derived materials in personal care.
