Our Leleshwa and Lantana oils are an Oil of the Month offering throughout the month of March. Let us know if you love them and we might just bring them into our permanent collection!
Lantana Essential Oil
The joyful, bright burst of colorful blooms and vibrant green leaves from the Lantana camara plant aren't just beautiful to look at — they create a unique essential oil with a sweet, grassy scent. Lantana Essential Oil helps to soothe nervous tension and can bring about feelings of calmness and serenity. This balancing oil can be enjoyed before going to bed to help calm the mind or inhaled throughout particularly stressful days to experience a sense of ease. Lantana also supports a healthy respiratory system and encourages clear and easy breathing due to its expectorant properties. When diluted and used topically, this oil can soothe irritated, dry, and itchy skin, as well as offer gentle healing properties to minor skin wounds.
