Common questions
What is lemongrass essential oil used for?+
Escentia Lemongrass Essential Oil is a steam-distilled oil from Cymbopogon citratus with a fresh, citrusy aroma and subtle earthy undertones. It is widely valued for its cleansing and purifying character — diffused, it helps freshen indoor spaces and creates an uplifting, energising atmosphere that may support mental clarity and focus.
Can lemongrass oil be used in massage?+
Yes. In massage and body care it is traditionally used to help soothe tired, aching muscles — always blend it with a suitable carrier oil first. It is also a popular addition to homemade skincare for oily or congested skin, thanks to its natural astringent qualities.
Does lemongrass oil help keep insects away?+
Lemongrass is well regarded as a natural insect deterrent. A few drops in a diffuser, or diluted in a spray, can help keep mosquitoes and other insects at bay — particularly useful for South African households during the warmer months.
Can I apply lemongrass essential oil directly to my skin?+
No — like all essential oils, it should be properly diluted before topical application, and a patch test is recommended for sensitive skin. Speak to your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, nursing or on medication.
How should I store lemongrass essential oil?+
Store it in a cool, dark place to maintain potency. Escentia packages its essential oils in dark amber glass to protect the oil's integrity from light degradation.
