Lemongrass essential oil is a certified organic, steam-distilled oil obtained from the fresh leaves of Cymbopogon flexuosus. Known for its sharp, citrus-forward aroma with subtle herbaceous notes, this oil is widely used in both aromatherapy and natural formulations.
Its clean, uplifting scent makes it a popular choice for blends designed to refresh indoor spaces, while its strong aroma means only small amounts are needed in formulations. Lemongrass essential oil is also commonly used in soaps, cleaning products, and insect-repellent blends.
