Our Lavender Massage Wax is formulated with  French Lavandula augustifolia essential oil and is one of the most popular massage waxes. This is not surprising, as it is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and balancing of the essential oils, and is a firm favourite with a wide range of therapists and clients everywhere. It's scent is almost synonymous with massage and complementary therapies.

It's properties range from analgesic, antidepressant, antiseptic, bactericidal and decongestant, to hypotensive, insect repellent and sedative. However, it's properties can be summed up as calming,soothing and balancing.

From ancient times, it has never fallen out of popularity and is still listed in the British Pharmacopoeia. The name of the plant comes from the Latin lavare  which means 'to wash' and probably derived from it's use in the cleaning of wounds.

It is because of this broad usefulness and it pleasant scent which gives it its popular appeal and makes it one of the most widely used of our massage waxes.
