Lavender (Lavandula spp.) is a beloved herb in skincare and wellness, valued not only for its calming fragrance but also for its wide range of skin-healing benefits. Its flowers are rich in volatile oils like linalool and linalyl acetate, flavonoids, tannins, coumarins, and vitamin C, giving it soothing, antioxidant, and restorative properties. Lavender is “legendary as an herbal antiseptic,” with natural antimicrobial actions that make it useful for disinfecting cuts, wounds, and sores while easing pain and irritation. It also helps calm the itch and sting of insect bites. Lavender essential oil has long been used as a burn aid, promoting tissue repair and speeding healing—whether for kitchen burns or sunburns, especially when combined with aloe vera gel to cool and protect damaged skin.
Beyond wound care, lavender supports healthy skin by balancing oil production, reducing redness, and shielding against environmental stress. It’s also beneficial for scalp and hair health, where lavender-infused oils may stimulate circulation, reduce dryness, and encourage growth. As a nervine tonic, lavender helps reduce anxiety, stress, and insomnia, making it a powerful dual-purpose botanical that supports both skin health and overall well-being.
If you've ever wished your skincare routine smelled like calm mornings and felt like a hug from nature, lavender may be the missing piece.
At Cowboy & Co., we don’t just add lavender for its dreamy scent—we honor it as a powerful botanical healer. And we do it differently: no essential oils, no overpowering fragrances. Just whole plant infusions, crafted gently for sensitive skin.
Let’s explore why lavender has been trusted for centuries and how our organic, essential oil-free lavender collection gives your skin everything it craves—without the things it doesn’t.
Why Is Lavender Good for Your Skin?
Lavender is more than just a lovely smell. Here’s what it can do for your skin:
-
Soothes irritation – Lavender is naturally anti-inflammatory and calms red, itchy, or reactive skin.
-
Fights acne – Its antibacterial properties help balance acne-prone skin and reduce breakouts.
-
Speeds healing – Known to support wound healing, lavender is a go-to for scars, burns, and dry patches.
-
Balances oil production – Ideal for combination and oily skin types.
-
Calms the senses – Even without essential oils, lavender’s scent (from whole plant infusion) helps create a calming ritual.
Why We Say No to Essential Oils
While essential oils are trendy, they can be too harsh for sensitive skin, babies, and even adults prone to breakouts or headaches.
That’s why we never use essential oils in our products.
Instead, we slowly infuse whole English lavender into organic oils. This traditional herbalist method delivers the full spectrum of lavender’s benefits—gently and effectively—without the risk of irritation.
If you're looking for tallow or skincare that smells like synthetic vanilla sugar or fake lavender? We’re probably not for you. And that’s okay.
We’re here for the nature-lovers, the sensitive-skin warriors, and the mamas who want safe options for their little ones.
