Lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon flexuosus) is steam-distilled from the leaves of an aromatic grass native to South and Southeast Asia. Its bright, lemony-herbaceous aroma is one of the most recognizable in aromatherapy. Our lemongrass oil is standardized for geranial (25–35%) and neral (20–30%) — the two isomers of citral that together constitute the primary active compounds with documented antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic properties.
Key Uses
Antimicrobial — Citral has demonstrated potent antimicrobial activity against a broad spectrum of bacteria and fungi, including drug-resistant strains
Muscle & joint pain — Anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties; effective in massage blends for sore muscles
Insect repellent — Citral and geraniol provide natural insect-repelling activity
Stress & anxiety — The uplifting citrus-herbal aroma reduces stress and promotes mental clarity when diffused
Skin & hair — Astringent and antimicrobial properties support oily skin and scalp health
How to Use
Diffuse: 4–6 drops for energy, clarity, and air purification
Topical (diluted 1%): Blend in carrier oil for muscle massage — use low dilution as citral can be sensitizing
Insect repellent: 20 drops in 2oz water spray bottle
