Lavendar

Mood
Breathing lavender is encouraged when treating stress and anxiety. The scent of lavender can improve stress levels, improve mood, and help people feel calmer. Starting the day or ending the day with the aroma of lavender in your shower or bath can do wonders for relaxation. 

Headaches
Along with providing stress relief, the smell of lavender can relieve headaches, release built-up tension, and can help manage migraine attacks. Showering with a bar of soap with organic lavender oil can help the early onset of migraine headaches.

Sleep
Similar to how lavender reduces stress and improves mood, it also helps you fall asleep. Often used in tea, bath salts, and massage oils, the scent of lavender can help you fall asleep. Sleeping in a bedroom with fresh lavender and bathing with a bar of lavender soap could be a component of an effective and relaxing bedtime routine. Studies have shown that lavender can improve sleep, reduce anxiety, and provide calming effects.

Sensitive Skin
Finding soap for sensitive skin can be challenging due to the harsh chemicals and preservatives added to conventional bars of soap. Potager offers a better solution by crafting soap with a certified organic olive oil base. Potager’s lavender bar soaps use certified organic lavender oil and lavender buds, and our soaps are gentle enough for the face. Customers can also rely on Potager to preserve its artisan soap with certified organic rosemary extract instead of harsh ingredients. 

Anti-inflammatory
The lavender plant is naturally anti-inflammatory and antiseptic, and it can soothe sunburns and reduce scarring. These properties make lavender soap an effective way to reduce skin inflammation and treat skin conditions. Adding lavender to your daily hygiene routine can help you combat inflammation daily.

Skin Healing
Lavender can heal wounds because of its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Research shows that lavender has an acceleratory effect on healing wounds. Lavender also contains polysaccharides, which help ease inflammatory diseases like rheumatism and arthritis. When showering with lavender soap you continuously assist the healing process of any cuts or abrasions you may have. 

Insect Repellent
Lavender oil is a natural insect repellent that is perfect when you're in the backyard or hiking a trail. Showering with lavender soap in combination with using an organic lavender insect repellent will help improve your outdoor time.

Muscle Aches
Lavender oil is often infused in massage oil, and spa’s often use lavender oil in diffusers. Using an organic lavender soap can help reduce muscle and joint pain while relaxing the mind. A long hot soak could be exactly what’s needed after a day of physical and mental activity.

The lavender plant is beautiful, beneficial for the skin, provides mental health benefits, and smells fantastic.
