Organic Lemongrass Oil
Organic Lemongrass Oil is a bright, citrusy, and energising essential oil steam-distilled from the fresh stalks and leaves of organically grown Cymbopogon citratus or Cymbopogon flexuosus. Cultivated without chemical fertilizers or synthetic pesticides, the plant retains its natural aroma profile and high citral content, making the oil exceptionally fragrant and therapeutically active.
Steam distillation preserves its uplifting scent along with its cleansing, deodorising, and invigorating qualities.
