Lavender has been part of the L’Occitane collection for as long as I can remember and it is said to have been one of the first flowers used by founder, Olivier Baussa. As a scent, Lavender is one which I link to relaxation, unwinding, de-stressing and I also happen to just adore that fresh scent. The latest collection within the Lavender set is the Limited Edition Lavender CBD Collection. The Lavender CBD range is described as being an expertly blended body care formula containing CBD Isolate, an ingredient which is derived from hemp and it is with the much loved Provençal lavender, to crete a range which brings an instant calm and relaxation when you need it most. Boasting aromatherapy benefits of lavender AOP essential oil and anti-inflammatory active CBD isolate, this Lavender CBD collection formula helps you to feel relaxed on a deeper level, easing away the physical and mental stresses of everyday life.
Starting with the Lavender CBD Relaxing Shower Gel (£17.50) it is perfect for using first thing in the morning, but my personal preference is to use it in an evening as part of my winding down to relax time.
This Shower Gel is enriched with the relaxing and soothing aromatherapy benefits of AOP
Lavender and CBD essential oils, it creates a moment of wellbeing and relaxation. On the skin, this shower gel is soft, it lathers like a dream and as soon as it comes into contact with your skin the scent is just delightful.
Then we have the Lavender CBD Relaxing Bi-Phase Body Milk and this is one of my favourite products from the range.
Again, this bi-phase body milk is enriched with those relaxing aromatherapy benefits of AOP Lavender and CBD essential oils which are present in the shower gel. but this time the body milk, which is a spray works to moisturise and it also helps to soothe the skin to leave it feeling really hydrated.
To use, you simply give the bottle a good shake to combine both phases and then spray a small amount directly onto your body and then massage into the skin, using slow, circular movements. I absolutely love the texture of this body milk, it is lightweight, non-greasy and it absorbs really quickly and leaves no trace behind, other than that amazing lavender scent.
Also within this Lavender CBD range is a Massage Oil and it is one of those products you didn't know you needed, until you use it.
Again, this oil is enriched with the very same relaxing and soothing aromatherapy benefits of AOP Lavender and CBD essential oils found in the products shown above, but for this product there is also what is described a being a bouquet of grapefruits, lavender and amber notes which come together to create a moment of well-being and relaxation.
Ideal for use all over the body, this is an oil which isn't greasy or tacky and is a great excuse for some TLC on those tired aching muscles, especially the shoulders!
If you love L'Occitane hand creams, I am obsessed with them, then this range also has the Lavender CBD Relaxing Hand Foot Cream.
Ideal for everyday use, this cream does have the Lavender and CBD but it is also enriched with shea butter which helps to deeply hydrate the skin for up to 8 hours while at the same time leaving it perfumed with a wonderfully calming scent.
On the skin, this is a really light-textured cream which is incredibly smooth and when applied to the skin and it massages in with minimal effort before becoming fully absorbed and anyone who uses a L'Occitane hand or foot cream regularly will know just how nourishing these products are.
The final product within this range is the Relaxing Mist for body and hair and for me, this was the surprise product within this collection because I hadn't expected to use it as much as I have.
Enriched with essential oil of Lavender and CBD and this multi-purpose mist is formulated to leave the skin and hair delicately scented whilst giving you the chance to enjoy a moment of well-being thanks to its relaxing fragrance. Unlike the rest of the products within this range, this mist has a set of notes. Starting with the top notes which include Grapefruit, Lemon and Cardamom, followed by the middle notes of Lavender, Sage and Elemi and finally the base notes of Benzoin, Patchouli and Incense, together these notes are really quite something, you get that wonderful citrus hit but with it a calming and earthy scent which lingers for a really good length of time. This is a scent I hope to see L'Occitane turn into a candle and a fragrance.
