Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from the leaves of lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus or Cymbopogon citratus), tropical grasses native to South and Southeast Asia that have been cultivated for centuries. Historically, lemongrass was valued throughout Asia for its fresh citrus aroma and was widely used in culinary traditions, traditional herbal practices, and household preparations. Today, lemongrass essential oil is commonly used in all-natural soaps, lotions, candles, household cleaners, and aromatherapy blends, where it is appreciated for its bright, lemony fragrance and vibrant botanical heritage.
