Lavender Seed Extract – Benefits, Side Effects & Uses

by ThankMeNow Editors on Sep 10, 2025
Lavender Seed Extract (Lavandula Angustifolia Seed Extract), typically an oil-dispersible botanical, is derived from the nutrient-rich seeds and contains a unique profile of Lavandulyl derivatives, Seed Polyphenols, and Phytosterols, offering significant calmness, antioxidant support, and enhanced barrier-feel without the heightened sensitizing potential of essential oils. This extract significantly improves calmness (observed trends up to 28%), enhances surface comfort (up to 25%), and increases softness-feel (up to 32%). Used typically at 0.1−1% in serums and creams, its soft, grounding profile makes it an excellent, gentle choice for sensitive, reactive, stressed-feeling, and dryness-prone skinseeking harmony, resilience, and daily antioxidant balance.
