Contact SupplierIntroduction to Lemongrass Essential Oil Lemongrass Essential Oil is a clear to pale yellow liquid with a fresh, earthy, herbaceous, and intensely lemony aroma that is sharp and stimulating. It is steam-distilled from the cultivated aromatic grass (Cymbopogon citratus or Cymbopogon flexuosus), a perennial plant native to tropical and subtropical regions. It is one of the most cost-effective oils with a high concentration of therapeutic chemical components. 🌱 Origin and Source Plant Name: Lemon Grass (Cymbopogon citratus is common; C. flexuosus is also widely used, especially in India). The Structure: Extracted from the fresh or partially dried aerial parts (leaves and stems) of the grass. Extraction: Steam Distillation of the grass. Aroma Profile: Intensely fresh, vibrant, herbaceous, and lemony. It is considered a strong Top Note with excellent tenacity, often used to uplift and cut through heavier scents. 🔬 Unique Composition & Characteristics Key Active Compounds: The major constituent is the aldehyde Citral (a mixture of isomers Geranial and Neral), which typically accounts for 65–85% of the oil. Citral is responsible for both the characteristic lemon aroma and the oil's potent biological activity. Functional Power (Antimicrobial): The high Citral content gives Lemongrass oil exceptional antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it highly effective against a wide range of pathogens. This makes it a primary choice for natural cleaning and skincare applications targeting issues like athlete's foot or acne. Functional Power (Anti-inflammatory/Analgesic): It contains compounds that exhibit strong anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects when applied topically (diluted), helping to soothe sore muscles, joint pain, and inflammation. Functional Power (Nervous System): In aromatherapy, it is used to be both calming and stimulating, promoting mental clarity, reducing stress, and relieving feelings of anxiety. 📜 Traditional and Modern Use Traditional: Used for centuries in traditional folk medicine (especially Ayurvedic) as a tonic, a digestive aid (to relieve flatulence and colic), a febrifuge (for fever), and an insect repellent. Modern: It is a ubiquitous ingredient across multiple industries: Aromatherapy: Diffused to promote relaxation, mental focus, and an uplifting atmosphere. It is also used in massage blends for muscle and joint pain relief. Cosmetics & Skin Care: Incorporated into products for oily or acne-prone skin due to its purifying and oil-reducing qualities. Household & Pest Control: A premier natural insect repellent (especially against mosquitoes) and a key component in natural disinfectant sprays and cleaning formulations due to its strong antimicrobial action. Food & Flavoring: A critical flavor agent in many Asian and Caribbean cuisines, providing a distinct lemon-herb note for teas, curries, and soups. Why Choose A.D. Fragrance Lemongrass Oil?
