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). 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 (Sharafabad et al., 2022).
