Good for oily skin
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil is known for ages. It has a pleasant scent but it's not the only great property of this component. It has great antiseptic and antibacterial activity which is great for oily skin. It also helps to heal small wounds and calm down the skin.
Linalool gives the product a nice and fresh lavender scent. It can be found in many essential oils. It oxidizes during air exposure and becomes allergenic. It can lead to irritation causing problems for people with sensitive skin. The threat is even higher if the product was opened several months ago. In such products, more Linalool is oxidized.
