Practitioners of naturopathic medicine often use “essential oils” such as lavender oil. (Note that essential refers to their essence or scent and does not imply that these substances are necessary for health.) One of the components of lavender oil is shown below. Based on its structure, could this molecule diffuse through the cell membrane of a skin cell after the oil was applied to the skin surface?
