Lavender essential oil, which is often used in combination with hydrolat, has strong antiseptic and repellent properties. Its effectiveness in fighting lice has been confirmed in several scientific studies:
Study published in the journal BMC DermatologyThis study, conducted by scientists from the University of Sydney, showed that a product containing a combination of tea tree oil (Melaleuca alternifolia) and lavender oil (Lavandula angustifolia) had a success rate of 97.6% in removing lice after the last treatment. This is significantly higher effectiveness compared to pyrethrin-based products, which had a success rate of only 25%. (Source)
