Abstract

Pure lavender infused with sunflower oil become a very
popular new product for treating skin and hair. The base
of this product is usually sunflower oil, extremely rich in
Vitamin E, known to be a very efficient skin antioxidant
(Badr et al., 2021). Lavender is highly aromatic due to the
presence of essential oil that is of important economic
value for the perfume, cosmetic, flavoring, and
pharmaceutical industries. Several lavender essential oils
are largely used in aromatherapy as antioxidant,
antimicrobial, carminative, spasmolytic, sedative,
antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, analgesic properties,
antioxidant activity tonic, and anti-depressive agents. The
cold-pressed sunflower or flaxseed oils are excellent
mediums for Lavandula essential oils due to the high level
of mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids and Vitamin-E�active compounds such as tocopherols and tocotrienols.
This mixture is a powerful antioxidant agent for treating
dry skin and hair and can be used for many cosmetic
purposes (P., 2022).
