Lavender is the herbal panacea. If you are in doubt about which essential oil or herb can help you, you can almost always say lavender. It has been prized since ancient times for its fresh, mild fragrance. Its antiseptic, antibacterial and analgesic properties make it good for treating wounds, lacerations, burns, bruises, allergies, insect bites and inflammation as it soothes the skin.

Rosewood is very useful in skin care products. It is tissue-building, cell-stimulating and reduces wrinkles, scars and stretch marks. Being very mild, rosewood is good for irritated skin, and its antiseptic and bactericidal properties make it suitable for treating acne and wounds. That's why it's great with lavender.

Chamomile has been used for centuries in Europe for medicine, as a disinfectant and as an ornamental plant. The ancient Egyptians dedicated the plant to the sun god Ra. In Greece, in the 4th century BC, Hippocrates prescribed it for fever. As one of the nine sacred herbs in the Anglo-Saxon text Lacnunga, chamomile has been recognized throughout the ages for its healing effects. Chamomile's useful substance is called Azulen, and is a very strong blue – and that's what colors this scrub.

Olive oil is a valuable source of vitamins such as A, D, E and K, which promote the growth of new skin cells and promote the body's resistance to infections. In addition, olive oil helps to better absorb vitamins from other ingredients, and it has a very high content of antioxidants.

Vitamin E is a strong antioxidant which helps the skin to maintain a youthful appearance, as it reduces the aging process of the cells due to oxygenation.
