Lemongrass Essential Oil
Our Lemongrass Essential Oil is steam-distilled from freshly harvested Cymbopogon flexuosus - the East Indian variety prized for its exceptionally high citral content (75-85%), which gives it the characteristic bright, citrus-herbal fragrance. Sourced from dedicated lemongrass farms across South India, this oil is cold-captured in small batches to preserve its full aromatic profile. Used widely in aromatherapy to reduce stress and improve focus, as a natural mosquito and insect repellent, in massage oils to ease muscle tension, and in skincare for its toning and antibacterial properties. Also popular in candle-making, soap formulation, and as a natural room freshener. FSSAI certified, steam-distilled without chemical solvents, and lab-tested for purity.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is lemongrass essential oil good for?
Lemongrass essential oil is used in aromatherapy to relieve stress and improve mental clarity, as a natural insect repellent, in massage blends for muscle pain, and in skincare for its antibacterial and toning properties. It also works well in candles and diffusers as a natural air freshener.
Can lemongrass oil be applied directly to skin?
Lemongrass essential oil must always be diluted before applying to skin - typically 1-2% in a carrier oil like coconut or sesame oil (about 6-12 drops per 30ml of carrier). Undiluted application can cause irritation. Always do a patch test first.
Is your lemongrass oil suitable for diffusers?
Yes, it works beautifully in ultrasonic diffusers and steam diffusers. Add 3-5 drops to your diffuser for a refreshing citrus-herbal fragrance that helps reduce stress and naturally repels insects. It blends well with eucalyptus, tea tree, and lavender oils.
