"If an azure summer sky at four p.m. had a smell, this would be it."
Suzanne Catty

You have to love such a description. Its sweet and happy aroma makes lavender a natural for children. Use it to calm cranky moods and bring an end to tearful tantrums, add it to bathwater or spray it directly on the bed for a restful night’s sleep. Lavender can be used on baby’s bottom for diaper rash.

For bigger people, lavender is regenerative for damaged or fragile skin. Spray skin both before and after shaving or hair removal to reduce inflammation, get a closer shave, and prevent ingrown hairs. Use it during travel to combat airplane air, calm sunburn, heat rash, sunstroke, rashes, bug bites, and itching. Mist skin before adding moisturizer or sunscreen to help prevent wind and temperature damage.

Internal application. Lavender is infrequently used internally due to its soapy taste, but it is traditional in desserts, cookies, and ices.

Shelf life. It is very stable with a shelf life of at least two years.
