Lavender Essential Oil
With its soft, floral scent and calming presence, lavender essential oil in our formula gently clears, repairs, and restores peace to your skin, helping you glide through the phase with comfort and clarity.
Soothing
We chose it specifically for this phase because of its anti-acne and wound-healing properties, exactly what skin often needs when progesterone rises, oil production increases, and breakouts or irritation can appear. Lavender has long been prized in folk medicine and now backed by research for its ability to fight acne-causing bacteria, soothe inflammation, and promote faster healing of small blemishes or micro-damage.
