Collection: Lemongrass Essential Oil

Essential Oils

Cymbopogon citratus / Cymbopogon flexuosus

Lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of the lemongrass plant,a tall, aromatic tropical grass native to South and Southeast Asia where it is as fundamental to cooking as it is to traditional medicine and personal care. Its aroma is intensely lemony but greener and more herbaceous than true lemon,bold, bright, and slightly grassy, with a freshness that cuts through heavy or complex blends with remarkable clarity.

In our soap and candle formulas lemongrass is a reliable, high-impact citrus option that holds its scent better than most true citrus oils. Its bright, assertive character makes it particularly effective in formulas designed to feel clean, fresh, and energizing.

Skin Benefits

Lemongrass's high citral content provides potent antioxidant and antimicrobial properties. It is commonly used in formulas for oily skin and scalp, where its astringent and purifying character helps balance sebum and reduce bacterial imbalance. Its natural insect-repelling properties also make it a valued ingredient in outdoor and body care formulas.
