Lemongrass Oil is a pale yellow to amber essential oil extracted primarily through steam distillation from the leaves and stalks of the Cymbopogon citratus or Cymbopogon flexuosus plants. Renowned for its fresh, citrusy, lemon-like aroma with subtle grassy undertones, this oil contains high levels of citral and limonene, compounds known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and insect-repellent properties. Widely utilized in aromatherapy, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and natural cleaning products, lemongrass oil offers both fragrance and functional benefits. It is valued for its ability to invigorate the senses, reduce stress, and support skin health.
