Lemongrass Essential Oil

Why You'll Love It

Steam-distilled from the rich, fragrant blades of Cymbopogon flexuosus grown in the historic Cochin region of India, our Cochin Lemongrass Essential Oil is a crisp botanical powerhouse. Often referred to as East Indian Lemongrass, this variety delivers a slightly sweeter, warmer, and more rounded citrus-herbal profile than its West Indian cousins. Exceptionally rich in natural citral, geraniol, and limonene, this 100% pure oil functions as an elite multi-tasker—famous for melting away physical muscle fatigue, tightening a sluggish complexion, and bringing fierce, purifying defense to your home and body care routines.

Key Benefits

• Tightens & Clarifies Oily Skin: Functions as a highly effective, natural astringent that visibly minimizes enlarged pores, sweeps away excess sebum, and helps defend acne-prone skin against breakout-causing bacteria.
• Soothes Deep Muscular Tension: Delivers a deeply comforting, warming sensation when massaged into the body, making it a favorite for relieving post-workout soreness and tight, aching muscles.
• Potent Antifungal & Foot Defense: Features powerful antimicrobial properties that target stubborn skin fungi, making it an excellent, refreshing addition to foot baths or routines aimed at soothing itchy, flaking skin.
• Shields Against Environmental Stress: Packed with active botanical antioxidants that safeguard skin cells from environmental pollutants while completely transforming stale indoor air with its vibrant aroma.
