The magic of lilac infused oil
Before we delve into the process of making ointment, let’s first explore the virtues of lilac infused oil. Made by steeping fresh (slightly wilted) lilac blossoms in a carrier oil, this aromatic infusion captures the essence of spring blooms. While the scent of the infused oil may not be as powerful as that of fresh flowers, it retains the soothing and nourishing properties of lilac, making it a valuable ingredient in skin care formulas.
Lilac oil is rich in antioxidants, which help protect the skin from environmental damage and promote a youthful complexion. Its anti-inflammatory properties soothe irritation and redness, making it suitable for sensitive or problematic skin. Additionally, the soothing nature of the oil provides deep hydration, leaving the skin soft, supple and radiant.
