Lavender can cause skin irritation in some individuals, especially when used in high concentrations. It is generally safe for topical use, but it's recommended to do a patch test before applying it to larger areas of the skin.
Avoid using lavender essential oil undiluted on the skin, as it can cause irritation. Dilute it with a carrier oil, such as jojoba or coconut oil, before applying it to the skin. If you have sensitive skin, start with a low concentration of lavender and gradually increase it as tolerated. Avoid using lavender oil near the eyes, as it can cause irritation. Due to its possible effects on the nervous system, talk to your healthcare provider before using any form of lavender if you have any heart conditions, underlying health conditions, or take medications. It’s unknown whether lavender oils or teas are safe for pregnant and breastfeeding women.
Lavender is extracted from the flowers of the Lavandula angustifolia plant, commonly known as true lavender.

Lavender extracts and oils are ingredients primarily used in skin care for their fragrance. Taken from the lavender, AKA Lavandula angustifolia, plant, these ingredients contain significant amounts of aromatic compounds, particularly linalyl acetate and linalool, that can cause skin sensitization both in the short-term and the long-term. Various forms of lavender can smell wonderful and certainly have documented aromatherapeutic benefits, but these are best enjoyed via scented candles or essential oil diffusers.
