Lavender dried flowers 5 g

Working with dried lavender blossoms in small-batch formulations

This 5 gram pack of dried lavender flowers is a practical starting point for anyone who wants to experiment with botanical fillers without committing to a large quantity. It works well for first trials of a new recipe, for a single batch of homemade skincare, for decorating candles or soap, and for brewing a small portion of herbal tea. Lavender blossoms are valued worldwide for their distinctive fragrance and gentle effect on skin and hair, which is why they regularly appear in facial masks, body scrubs, bath bombs and infusions. This item belongs to the Natural dried flowers section, which brings together various dried botanicals for cosmetic and decorative purposes.

Globally, dried lavender flowers are used across several industries. In cosmetic manufacturing they serve as a natural filler in facial scrubs and masks, get incorporated into soap bases, and fill sachets and aromatic pillows. In the food industry, lavender blossoms are used for herbal tea blends, culinary mixtures and desserts, contributing a delicate floral note. In candle making, the flowers act as a decorative element pressed into the top layer of a candle or embedded within clear gel wax. In household and aromatherapy applications, dried lavender is a common filling for sachets placed in wardrobes and drawers, both for fragrance and as a natural moth deterrent.

For cosmetic use, lavender flowers are typically ground before being mixed into a formulation, avoiding large fragments that could be abrasive on skin when used in a scrub. A recommended dosage for masks and scrubs ranges from 1 to 3 grams per 100 grams of base, depending on the desired fragrance intensity and texture. It is best to introduce the dried flowers at the final stage of preparation, once the base has cooled to room temperature or does not exceed 40 degrees, to preserve the petal structure and avoid discoloration. For infusions and tea, a common ratio is about 1 teaspoon per 200 ml of hot water, steeped for at least 10 minutes.

Lavender pairs naturally with other dried botanicals, allowing formulators to build multi-component herbal blends with varied visual and functional effects. It is often combined with dried cornflower blue flowers to create visually contrasting sachets and decorative mixes, and with St. John's wort flowers, which frequently appear together in herbal blends intended for skin care. Another good match is calendula dried flowers, which adds a soft yellow tone to the composition along with its own traditional cosmetic properties.

Store dried lavender flowers in a tightly sealed container, in a dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent premature loss of fragrance and clumping. When stored properly, the flowers retain their appearance and scent for a long period. The small 5 gram pack is ideal for testing a formula before ordering a larger quantity or for a single decorative or aromatic project.
