Lemongrass Essential Oil

Our essential oil was steam distilled in July 2024. We sourced our lemongrass from two organic farms in Cyprus. When growing lemongrass for the market, the useful part is the stalk. When harvesting the stalks, the top stems and leaves are being left in the field. For us, the top parts are useful too, as so we asked our suppliers to collect them for our distillations.

The Lemongrass essential oil boasts a refreshing citrus scent that invigorates the senses.
