Lemongrass Essential Oil is a powerful, purifying oil with a fresh, lemony herbal scent. Rich in citral (a blend of geranial and neral), lemongrass excels as a natural choice for household cleaning, especially in areas prone to germs, like showers. Its invigorating aroma brings a refreshing touch to any space, though it should be well diluted for skin applications to avoid irritation.
This versatile oil is also popular in outdoor blends for its potent, citrusy aroma that naturally deters pests. With its cleansing, astringent properties, lemongrass supports skin health, making it a valuable addition to skincare routines. Enjoy its relaxing qualities in diffuser blends for a soothing and uplifting experience. Our REFRESH products are also a great way to experience this wonderful essential oil.
