Detailed description
Organic Cymbopogon citratus Lemongrass essential oil is harvested from lemongrass plants grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, ensuring a pure, potent, and therapeutically rich extract. C. citratus is known for its exceptionally high citral content—responsible for its powerful lemon aroma and strong cleansing effects.
Native to Southeast Asia, this species is widely used in traditional herbal practices to support digestion, circulation, and emotional clarity. Its sharp, citrus-bright aroma makes it a favorite in natural perfumery, revitalizing massage blends, and household cleaning formulations.
Extraction Method
Organic Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) essential oil is obtained through steam distillation of the freshly harvested grass leaves.
Viscosity
The oil has a thin, fluid viscosity, making it excellent for diffusion, massage blends, and skincare formulations.
Color
Lemongrass essential oil is typically pale yellow to golden yellow.
Odor Profile
The aroma is intensely lemony, fresh, bright, grassy, herbaceous, and slightly sweet, with strong citrus top notes characteristic of citral-rich C. citratus. It is cleaner, crisper, and slightly lighter than the C. flexuosus type.
