Organic lavandin oil is found in a variety of beauty products and for good reason! The organic essential oil’s active ingredients are linalool, linalyl acetate, camphor and cineol. The Garnier Organic range uses organic lavandin essential oil in its Anti-aging skincare products; and Soothing Lavandin Anti-Age Eye Care Cream. These formulas deliver anti-aging benefits and are gentle enough to be used on even the most sensitive skin.
