Classic Lemongrass from India for Professional Use
Lemongrass essential oil is appreciated for its vivid citrus profile, fresh grassy body, and versatility in wellness, body care, and aromatic formulations. Steam distilled from the leaves, it is often selected for diffuser blends, soaps, massage oils, room sprays, and compositions that benefit from a bold lemon-like note with crisp herbal energy and strong aromatic lift.

It can sharpen herbal blends, brighten woody compositions, energize home fragrance products, and add a fresh clean accent to both personal care and fragrance style formulas.
