Lavender
Lavendula angustfolia
Lavender flowers are considered an elegant luxury. They are a sign of refinement, wealth, wisdom, purity and devotion.
Lavender essential oil is extracted from the buds of this beautiful purple flowering plant.
Lavender is by far my favorite essential oil. Not just because it smells wonderful, because it does, but because lavender is the single most versatile essential oil I know. I purchase more lavender, personally and professionally, than any other essential oil. Almost every single product I craft has lavender oil in it.
Not just any lavender, mind you. The lavender I use is 100% pure essential oil extracted from organically grown French Bulgarian lavender buds. This type of lavender is known to contain higher healing components than any other lavender. It is grown in very specific conditions and harvested at very specific times of the year.
Lavender is so gentle on the skin that it is one of very few essential oils that I ever recommend for undiluted skin application.
Lavender is fantastic when applied to burns because it not only helps to prevent infection and inflammation, but it also reduces pain and promotes healing.

I rarely recommend essential oils for use while pregnant or breast feeding. Nor do I usually recommend essential oils for use with a newborn baby, but lavender is so gentle that it is an occasional exception. It is usually safe for older infants, toddlers and children. (Please ask a trained clinical aromatherapist before using any essential oil!)
Emotionally, lavender is soothing and calming to the nervous system. I highly recommend lavender for those in need of a restful night’s sleep.
Inhaling lavender brings immediate relief from stress and anxiety. I don't go anywhere without my lavender inhaler!
Welcome! I'm Stephanie, founder of Spoiled Rotten Bath and Body Boutique. I am a trained clinical aromatherapist and novice herbalist who enjoys sharing information about aromatherapy and herbs in an easy to read and understand format.
I started SRBBB with a basket of soaps and scrubs that I sold in the teacher's lounge when I was teaching. With the encouragement of friends, family and customers, over the years, I have gradually added more and more products.
I opened my first online store in 2001. I continue to sell in my own online store as well as five online sites for hand crafted items. I also sell locally at farmer's markets, craft shows and art fairs. My products can be found in yoga studios, gift shops, day spas, hair salons, holistic medical and dermatologist's offices.
As my children have grown older, and we have encountered skin issues like eczema and acne, my research into these areas and has also grown.
As I have grown older, my products have grown up too. I now offer a variety of natural aromatherapy skin care products for anti-aging. These are my favorite products to research and formulate.
Actually, I like to formulate anything that will help someone!
My products are 100% natural. That means every single ingredient is from nature. No man-made chemicals, fragrance oils or preservatives. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Most of my ingredients are Vegan. I do offer a few products that contain cow's &/or goat's milk, beeswax and honey. These products are clearly marked.
All of my ingredients are certified organic, organically grown or wild crafted & unsprayed.
Every single essential oil I use is intelligently selected. I have been trained in the chemistry of essential oils and choose essential oils for there therapeutic benefits.
I purchase only 100% pure, undiluted, therapeutic, and organically grown oils from trusted aromatherapists who import their oils straight from the distillers. When possible, I import straight from the distiller myself.
