dōTERRA lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) is one of the most preferred essential oils in the world of aromatherapy. A high-quality lavender oil should contain 25-38% linalool and 25-45% linalyl acetate according to ISO 3515:2018 standards (3). These chemical components form the basis of the oil's calming and balancing effects. dōTERRA provides high-purity oils that meet these standards, offering natural support in your daily life.

dōTERRA Lavender Oil in Skincare
dōTERRA lavender oil is highly effective in soothing skin irritations due to its antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties (1, 4). It must always be diluted with a carrier oil, such as coconut oil, before direct application to the skin. This practice helps maintain the skin's moisture balance and soothe minor redness.
Stress and Anxiety Management
To cope with daily stress, dōTERRA lavender oil supports emotional balance when inhaled aromatically. Research indicates that the scent of lavender may help alleviate anxiety symptoms (6, 10). Inhaling a drop of oil from your palms with deep breaths provides an immediate sense of relief.
