Constituents. The of this beautiful herb consist of a high content of volatile oils: (linalyl acetate, linalol, lavandulyl acetate, borneol, limonene); coumarins: (umbelliferone and coumarin); triterpenes; and flavonoids.
Qualities. Lavender is highly aromatic and oily, useful in distressed and tense states.

Our highly aromatic lavender flowers, Lavandula angustifolia, are organic, non-GMO, and Kosher. The of this beautiful herb consist of a high content of volatile oils: (linalyl acetate, linalol, lavandulyl acetate, borneol, limonene); coumarins: (umbelliferone and coumarin); triterpenes; and flavonoids. The effects of these compounds include rubefacientRubefacient herbs generate a localized increase in blood flow when applied to the skin, reddening the skin, to stimulate the dilation of the capillaries increasing blood circulation often helping internal pains, muscle spasms or cramps, and arthritic joints. and . The rubefacient effect is stimulatingStimulant herbs quicken and enliven whole physiological activity of the body, including laxatives, circulatory stimulants, and digestive bitters. and can increase localized blood flow helping healing, cleansing, and nourishment to allow proper blood circulation throughout the body that can allay restlessness, ease muscular pain, encourage healing, and allow the body to calm. The rubefacient and antispasmodic activity of lavender is particularly helpful in times of restlessness, nervous debility, muscle spasms, and the aches and pains of rheumatism. As a stimulating rub, lavender can be applied to sore muscles and joints, restless legs, sprains, strains, muscle spasms, and any rheumatic stiffness, aches, and pains. Because of the high volatile content, lavender has a powerful aroma that is quite significant. Part of an aromatic effect is due to the actions on the nose as the olfactory nerves pick up scent molecules from them and transmit the smell to the brain where a reaction is triggered. The aroma of lavender has a relaxing nervine effect, promoting sleep and calming the mind and body, and lavender's aroma has also been shown to have an uplifting and anti-depressant effect, specifically in combination with other therapies. The aroma can relax and relieve headaches, particularly when nervous or stress-related.
Essential oil. Our lavender, Lavandula angustifolia, essential oil is organic, non-GMO, and Kosher. Highly concentrated and potent, essential oil contains the volatile chemical compounds from the plant parts. A plant can produce 2 types of oils differing very much from each other, one is fixed, and the other volatile. The fixed oil is found in the seeds and fruit and contains fatty acids. The volatile oil is found in every other part of the plant, excluding the seeds, and contains the aromatic essence or spirit. Lavender essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the lavender flowers. Our pure essential oil carries a relaxing sweet floral evergreen aroma.
Coconut oil
Cocos nucifera
Arecaceae
fixed oil
Our coconut oil is extra virgin (unrefined), fair trade, organic, non-GMO, and Kosher. The oil is extracted from the raw meat of the coconut from the coconut palm, Cocos nucifera. The oil is clear to light yellow in color and carries a rich aroma. Coconut oil is composed of many fatty acids, including lauric acid (49%), myristic acid (18%), palmitic acid (8%), caprylic acid (8%), capric acid (7%), oleic acid (6%), linoleic acid (2%), and stearic acid (2%). Coconut oil has shown , , , , and actions. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity. Comprising of almost 50% of coconut oil, lauric acid displays beneficial skin healing and homeostasis. Monolaurin, which is derived from lauric acid, has antimicrobial activity by disintegrating the lipid membrane of lipid-coated bacteria, including Propionibacterium acnes, Staphylococcus aureus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. The oil, in concentrations of 5% to 40%, was shown to have activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Bacillus subtilis. It was also studied and found to be an effective agent against Candida species. In one study, virgin coconut oil was shown to heal wounds faster, improve status, and higher turnover of collagen, which is an important protein for skin to heal from wounds or damage and for skin's elasticity and integrity. Coconut oil can promote healing in wounds and contribute to protective barrier functions of the skin. Topical applications of virgin coconut oil was shown to be effective in decreasing the severity of skin conditions and atopic dermatitis. Virgin coconut oil has been found to have not only an effect, but a pain-relieving effect as well. It has shown to decrease eczema severity indicating it more effective than mineral oil.
Olive oil
Olea europaea
Oleaceae
fixed oil
Our olive oil is extra virgin, organic, non-GMO, and Kosher. It is extracted from the fruit of the olive tree, Olea europaea. The oil is obtained from the first pressing of the olive and left in it natural unrefined (virgin) state. The oil is a greenish yellow in color with a distinct aroma. Olive oil has many vitamins, including A, E, and K and characterized by a high level of oleic acid, moisturizing and conditioning the skin. The oil contains a variety of phenolic compounds that are the main antioxidants found in virgin olive oil, including phenolic alcohols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, lignans, and secoiridoids. The phenolic compounds contain higher antioxidant activity than vitamin E. Olive oil has been shown to be beneficial on skin for wound healing. It has potent anti-inflammatory activity. Olive oil can ease inflammation, reduce oxidative damage, and promote skin regeneration. The oil can protect stratum corneum integrity and skin barrier function and homeostasis. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is the only layer that we can see. This layer serves as a hard protective layer against environmental trauma, such as abrasions, ultraviolet (UV) light, heat, allergens, pathogens, pollution, and irritants. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity.
Sunflower oil
Helianthus annuus
Asteraceae
fixed oil
Our sunflower oil is extracted from the seeds of sunflowers, Helianthus annus and is organic, non-GMO, and Kosher. The oil is light honey color with a neutral scent. Sunflower oil consists of oleic and linoleic acid and it is rich in vitamin E. Sunflower oil is highly absorbent into the skin and can improve skin hydration without inducing reddening in the skin due to dilating blood vessels from irritation (erythema). Hydration of the stratum corneum is crucial for its integrity and the maintenance of the skin barrier homeostasis. The stratum corneum is the outermost layer of the epidermis and is the only layer that we can see. This layer serves as a hard protective layer against environmental trauma, such as abrasions, ultraviolet (UV) light, heat, allergens, pathogens, pollution, and irritants. The oil has been found to preserve the structure and function of the stratum corneum. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity. The linoleic acid in sunflower oil enhances keratinocyte proliferation and lipid synthesis, which enhances skin barrier repair.
Castor oil
Ricinus communis
Euphorbiaceae
fixed oil
Our castor oil is extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant, Ricinus communis, and it is organic and non-GMO. The oil is very light yellow in color.

The oil is very thick, revealing its moisturizing and emollient properties. Emollients applied to the skin soften, soothe, and protect by creating a thick viscous barrier on skin. The oil is rich in ricinoleic acid, having a typical content of 80% and higher, which is an integral fatty acid that promotes hydration. One study found that castor oil is a potent natural and was shown to have effects. Plant oils keep skin nourished and protected to help preserve its function as a barrier to keep out bacteria, promote the healing of wounds and scars, and retain overall skin integrity.
