Celebrating Lovely Lavender
This month we are celebrating the lovely lavender flower! Lavender is a versatile plant that has a wonderful fragrance known for its calming effects. It is famous for its soothing scent and can be used in food, drink, dried as potpourri and in fragrance oils.
We use lavender in our butters, scrubs, soaps and roller oils. Many of our customers use lavender infused Buddha Bath products before bed and report its calming effects help relax them.
Our lavender scent is fresh, complex, and never overbearing. It is the perfect combination of soothing, calming, and comforting!
