Lavender Leaf Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Lavender Leaf Extract (Lavandula Angustifolia Leaf Extract), a water-soluble, non-aromatic botanical, is derived from the leaves, concentrating Phenolic Compounds and Flavonoids to deliver powerful soothing comfort, antioxidant protection, and barrier stability without the volatility of essential oils. This extract significantly improves comfort perception (observed trends up to 30%), aids in redness reduction (up to 25%), and boosts barrier tolerance(up to 28%). Used typically at 0.5−5% in serums and moisturisers, its low volatility and high compatibility make it an excellent daily-use stabiliser for sensitive, acne-prone, and reactive skin, functioning as a gentle buffer when used before strong actives like retinoids and acids.
