LAVANDULA HYBRIDA HERB OIL.

Questionable CAS 91722-69-9 / PERFUMING

Lavandula Hybrida Herb Oil, derived from lavandin, is a multi-functional botanical ingredient prized for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and purifying properties. It aids in sebum regulation and skin regeneration, while also imparting a natural fragrance to formulations.

Summary

Fragrance Antioxidant Antimicrobial/antibacterial Soothing Anti-inflammatory Moisturizing Astringent Sebum-regulating Regenerative

Science

Mechanism of Action

This oil acts on the skin through several pathways: it provides soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits, contributes to moisturization, and exhibits antibacterial properties against common skin microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus and Staphylococcus epidermidis, which are involved in acne. Key components like linalool and camphor support these therapeutic effects. Additionally, it offers a purifying and astringent action, which helps to regulate sebum production and reduce shine on oily skin, and supports the skin's natural healing processes.

Dusting Analysis

Not commonly dusted

While Lavandula Hybrida Herb Oil offers multiple benefits, its recommended maximum concentration for cosmetic use, primarily as a fragrance, is 1%. Formulating above this level for perceived enhanced benefits is ill-advised given explicit warnings against high concentrations due to irritation and allergic reaction potential, a critical consideration for a precision skincare brand.

Stability

No specific optimal pH range has been found for Lavandula Hybrida Herb Oil. However, for the closely related Lavandula angustifolia oil, a pH range of 6.0-7.0 is reported, which may serve as a general stability guideline.

Conflicts

  • Must not be applied undiluted directly to the skin or mucous membranes.
  • Requires incorporation into a carrier oil for safe topical application.
  • High concentrations should be strictly avoided due to increased risk of irritation and allergic reactions.

Caution
Sensitization risk Moderate

Generally considered safe for cosmetic use under specified conditions; however, key components such as linalool, limonene, and camphor may induce allergic reactions or hypersensitivity, manifesting as skin irritation, redness, or itching, particularly in individuals with sensitive skin. A patch test is highly recommended prior to use. It is explicitly contraindicated during the first three months of pregnancy, while breastfeeding, for children under 3 years old, and individuals at risk of epilepsy. The Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has assessed related Lavandula species, and Lavandula hybrida oil is subject to restrictions under Annex III of the EC Cosmetics Regulation to ensure safe use.

Verdict

Questionable

While offering a range of beneficial properties for various skin types and acting as a natural fragrance, the lack of specific Lavandula hybrida clinical efficacy data, potential for sensitization, and multiple contraindications necessitate careful consideration and formulation by precision skincare brands.
