Creating a lavender-infused oil or toner at home can be as simple as steeping dried lavender in a carrier oil or mixing lavender essential oil with water and witch hazel.

Why is Lavender So Helpful for Rest and Relaxation?

Lavender has long been celebrated for its calming properties, but did you know it holds secrets that extend beyond just relaxation? This fragrant purple flower is a powerhouse of benefits for both mind and skin. Scientifically speaking, lavender essential oil contains compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate, which are known for their soothing effects on the nervous system. When inhaled or applied topically, these compounds can help reduce anxiety and promote a sense of calm.

In the realm of skincare, lavender is a hero ingredient. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it a great ally for acne-prone skin, while its antioxidants fight free radicals, helping to protect and rejuvenate your skin. With such a robust profile, it’s no wonder lavender is a staple in our night cream, offering a dual-action approach to relaxation and skincare.

What are the Key Ingredients in the Night Cream?

Our night cream is packed with natural, skin-loving ingredients:

  • Lavender Essential Oil: Lavender is great for calming irritation thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties that soothe redness and swelling. This makes it especially effective for conditions like eczema and psoriasis.
  • Grass Fed Rendered Tallow: This ingredient is a true powerhouse for your skin! Tallow is packed with vitamins A, D, E, and K, which are all super important for keeping your skin healthy. These vitamins work together to reduce dryness and boost skin elasticity, giving you a supple and youthful glow.
  • Carrier Oil: Each drop is rich in essential fatty acids that deeply nourish and hydrate your skin, locking in moisture to promote a plump and smooth complexion. These oils serve as a gentle vehicle for delivering the lavender’s calming effects, as well as the vitamins and nutrients from other ingredients, right to where they’re needed most.
  • Lavender Flowers: When incorporated into skincare, they provide a soothing and healing experience, reducing inflammation and irritation. The gentle exfoliating properties of lavender flowers also aid in removing dead skin cells, revealing a brighter, more even complexion beneath.
  • Beeswax: It forms a natural barrier on the skin’s surface, shielding it from environmental stressors while locking in moisture, keeping your complexion soft and hydrated. Beyond its protective qualities, beeswax is rich in vitamin A, which aids in cellular reconstruction and keeping your skin looking youthful and fresh.

How Do You Make Infused Oil with Lavender Buds?

Creating infused oil with lavender buds is a simple process that allows you to extract the beneficial properties of the flowers into a carrier oil. This creates a potent and customizable base for your Lavender Night Cream. Here’s how to make it:

  1. Begin by gathering dried lavender buds and your preferred carrier oil (such as jojoba, sweet almond, or grapeseed).
  2. In a clean glass jar, combine the dried lavender buds with enough oil to cover them completely.
  3. Place the jar in a sunny spot for 4-6 weeks, shaking it gently every few days.
  4. After the infusion period, strain out the lavender buds using cheesecloth or a fine-mesh strainer.
  5. Your infused oil is now ready to be used in your Lavender Night Cream recipe or as a standalone facial oil!

Infused oils are an excellent way to harness the benefits of natural ingredients for your skincare routine, and lavender buds make a wonderful addition with their calming and anti-inflammatory properties.

What is Grass Fed Rendered Tallow?

I know it sounds so crazy to think about putting beef fat on your skin. When I first heard about it, I thought it was crazy! But it’s actually such a remarkable ingredient for your skin, offering nourishment and rejuvenation in every application.

Relaxing Lavender Night Cream

Rendered tallow comes from the fat of grass-fed cattle, and this rich ingredient is a staple in natural skincare due to its compatibility with human skin, closely mimicking our own natural oils. The benefits are plentiful: tallow is packed with fatty acids, including omega-3 and omega-6, which are crucial for maintaining the skin’s barrier function and keeping it soft and healthy. It’s also a fantastic source of vitamins A, D, E, and K, essential nutrients that aid in skin repair and regeneration, ensuring your skin stays elastic and youthful.

The grass-fed aspect is significant because it means the cattle have enjoyed a natural diet, which enhances the purity and nutritional value of the tallow. When you use our Lavender Night Cream enriched with grass-fed rendered tallow, you’re providing your skin with a skin-loving ingredient that hydrates, restores, and protects, all while cocooning you in a luscious, nourishing experience.
