Lemongrass Essential Oil - 15ml

This is a high-citral Cochin variety—one of the most potent lemongrass oils available, delivering maximum therapeutic benefits when used with proper dilution and care.

What is Lemongrass Oil?

Lemongrass oil comes from Cymbopogon flexuosus, a fragrant grass native to India and other tropical regions. The Cochin variety is particularly prized for its exceptionally high citral content, which gives it both powerful therapeutic properties and that characteristic fresh, lemony scent that's sharper and more intense than other citrus oils.

Aroma Profile:
Strong, fresh lemon-like scent with citrus brightness. Invigorating, uplifting, and energizing—cleaner and grassier than lemon essential oil.
