The Story Behind The Petal

Dried lavender has been used for its healing properties since ancient times and the Egyptians were known to have grown the plant in their gardens. In fact, dried lavender was even found in King Tut's tomb! As civilisations moved through time, so did the use of this fragrant plant. From Rome to England, dried lavender was used as a natural remedy for many ailments. It wasn't until the 18th century that it began to be widely utilised for skincare purposes. During this period, it became popular among French royalty as well as those who lived in more rural areas of Europe. Nowadays, you can find dried lavender being used all around the world - from perfumes to balms and everything in between.
