Last month Kane from our team had a small kitchen accident.
Hot oil spat from a pan and landed directly on his leg, leaving a second degree burn almost the size of a 20 cent coin. Anyone who has experienced a burn like this knows how intense that first moment can be!
After cooling it with water and ice, he began using a very simple routine centred around lavender essential oil, later adding helichrysum and jojoba as the skin began repairing. Over the next 20 days he documented the healing process with photos.
Lavender has been associated with burn care for more than a century, and remains one of the most widely used essential oils for calming minor burns and supporting skin recovery. We’ve shared the routine he used and the healing progression in this post. Sometimes the most interesting part of aromatherapy is simply seeing what these oils can do in real life. 😌🌿
