Lemongrass Essential Oil
Cymbopogon citratus
If you're seeking an essential oil with a potent lemony fragrance, Lemongrass Essential Oil is an excellent choice. It's ideal for boosting your mood during challenging times and is perfect for blends when you feel emotionally or physically tired, or need help focusing.
Lemongrass Essential Oil contains a high concentration of citral (geranial and neral).
When using it topically, it's important to note that it can cause skin sensitization if used at concentrations over 0.7%. A little of this oil goes a long way in topical applications.
