Can I use Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water with Panthenol?
Works well together
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Flower Water and Panthenol are generally compatible and can be layered in the same routine. As always, introduce one new active at a time and watch how your skin responds.
- ✓Lavender hydrosol (flower water) is the aqueous distillate co-produced with lavender essential oil, containing water-soluble aromatics and trace amounts of linalool and linalyl acetate
- ✓Significantly gentler than lavender essential oil — at typical hydrosol concentrations, the fragrant compounds are too dilute to cause sensitization in most individuals, while still delivering mild soothing and antimicrobial benefit
- ✓Calming skin-conditioning character with very light fragrance; used as a functional water replacement in sensitive-skin and soothing formulas
- ⚠Contains trace linalool — EU fragrance allergen monitoring applies; most hydrosols are well below the 0.01% threshold but individuals with confirmed linalool sensitivity should be aware
- ⚠Distinct from Lavandula Angustifolia Oil: the hydrosol is far safer for sensitive skin than the undiluted essential oil
