Lavender Flower Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Lavender Flower Extract (Lavandula Angustifolia Flower Extract), a water-soluble botanical extract, is derived using non-volatile methods to preserve its calming Flavonoids and Phenolic Acids without concentrating sensitizing essential oil compounds, effectively creating a non-aromatic soothing agent. This extract is highly valued for significantly improving comfort perception (observed trends up to 30%), aiding in redness reduction (up to 25%), and boosting barrier calm (up to 28%). Used typically at 0.5−5% in serums and moisturisers, its excellent tolerability and non-fragrant nature make it an ideal daily-use comfort botanical for sensitive, reactive, and dry skin, serving as a supportive layer that enhances the tolerability of other active ingredients.
