Product details
Escentia Lemongrass Essential Oil is a versatile, steam-distilled oil derived from Cymbopogon citratus, prized for its fresh, citrusy aroma with subtle earthy undertones. This generous 20ml bottle offers excellent value for an essential oil that finds use across aromatherapy, natural cleaning, and personal care routines.
Lemongrass essential oil is rich in citral, a naturally occurring compound studied for its anti-inflammatory properties. In aromatherapy, its bright, uplifting scent is commonly used to ease mental fatigue, support focus, and promote a sense of clarity during demanding days. When diffused, it also acts as a natural insect deterrent — a practical benefit for South African households, particularly during warmer months.
For topical use, lemongrass oil may be diluted in a carrier oil and applied to help soothe tired, aching muscles after physical activity. Its natural astringent qualities make it a popular addition to skincare blends aimed at toning and clarifying oily or congested skin. It also blends beautifully with oils such as eucalyptus, peppermint, lavender, and tea tree for customised aromatherapy formulations.
Beyond personal wellness, this oil is a staple ingredient in DIY natural cleaning sprays, where its cleansing properties and refreshing fragrance make it an effective alternative to synthetic household products.
As with all essential oils, lemongrass should be properly diluted before applying to the skin and a patch test is recommended, especially for those with sensitive skin. Avoid use during pregnancy without consulting a healthcare professional. Store in a cool, dark place to preserve potency.
