Lavender Revolution: Plant essences linked to enlarged breasts in boys as posted by vocalista001

"Two ingredients common in many hair- and skin-care products have been linked to abnormal development of breasts in boys. Lavender oil and tea tree oil contain compounds that act like female sex hormones and interfere with male hormones, researchers have determined."

...

"The plant essences presumably have similar potential effects in young girls, Reiter says. Studies show a recent rise of early breast development in girls (SN: 9/9/00, p. 165: http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20000909/fob3.asp). Prepubertal children have low sex hormone concentrations, so relatively small amounts of hormone-mimicking compounds might upset their physiologic balance at that age, says Reiter."

Lavender + tea-tree oil diluted applied to my face has done wonders for my facial acne (which I believe has always been angry-hormone related).

I think I'll keep it away from the boobne for now, though. :)

I dunno. I still think you're taking a risk by washing with it. Reference this sentence here:

...have been linked to abnormal development of breasts in boys.

You're just asking for boobs on your face, you know.

It's the only way I can get men to look me in the eye!

So, that's why a certain young man calls you "round eyes"!

I can just see it now...

Person 1: So, why do you have tits on your face?

Person 2: Those aren't tits! Those are umm... chipmunk cheeks!

Person 1: Wow! I gotta find me a chipmunk.
