Laurel Leaf Essential Oil

Laurel Leaf essential oil is best known for its ability to promote confidence, mental clarity, and resilience, making it a favorite oil for both sharpened concentration and courageous self-assurance.Steam-distilled from the aromatic leaves of the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis), it has a rich history dating back to ancient Greece and Rome, where laurel wreaths symbolized wisdom, victory, and achievement. Its fresh, herbaceous aroma may help reduce mental fatigue, support concentration, and encourage a balanced mood. When diluted and applied topically, Laurel Leaf can provide a comforting sensation for tired muscles and support healthy-looking skin. Its uplifting yet grounding character makes it a valuable companion for study, meditation, leadership, and daily wellness rituals.

For topical use, Laurel Leaf essential oil should always be diluted with a Platinum Nourishing Carrier Oil before applying to the skin.

• 1% dilution: about 1 drop of Laurel Leaf essential oil per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing Carrier Oil
• 2% dilution: about 2 drops per 1 teaspoon of Platinum Nourishing Carrier Oil

Laurel Leaf is generally considered suitable for topical use when properly diluted, but because it contains naturally occurring compounds that may cause sensitivity in some individuals, it's best to start with 1 drop per teaspoon, especially if you have sensitive skin or are using it for the first time.

Always perform a patch test before wider use. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes, and discontinue use if irritation occurs.
