Lemongrass Essential Oil (2 sizes)

Sizes: 5ml, 1oz. (30ml) Value Sized

Features & Benefits

Lemongrass is one of the best-known essential oils, with its low cost, diverse therapeutic potential and bright, spicy-lemon scent. The oil is steam distilled from Lemongrass’s yellow-green blades, which themselves have a citrus-like aroma. Dried and fresh lemongrass is used extensively in Asian cooking and herbal medicine. Our Lemongrass essential oil is organically cultivated and steam distilled in Sri Lanka. Always use diluted; neat application may cause skin-irritation.
