LEMONGRASS ORGANIC ESSENTIAL OIL CITRATUS

Organic Lemongrass Citratus Essential Oil in Bulk

Organic lemongrass citratus essential oil is an aromatic raw material steam-distilled from Cymbopogon citratus, prized in cosmetic formulation for its citral-geraniol profile and fresh citrus scent. This guide covers what it is, how it is obtained, and its main applications in professional cosmetics, aimed at labs, artisan soap makers and formulators sourcing certified organic raw materials in bulk.

What is organic lemongrass citratus essential oil?

Organic lemongrass citratus essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of Cymbopogon citratus leaves grown under certified organic farming. Its composition is dominated by citral, geraniol, limonene and myrcene, alongside linalool, nerol and geranyl acetate, giving it the characteristic fresh citrus-herbaceous aroma valued in cosmetic formulation.

Organic certification guarantees crop traceability and freedom from synthetic pesticide residues, an added value over conventional versions of the same base oil and a differentiating argument for certified or naturally positioned cosmetic lines.

Hair and body care formulation. It is used in shampoos, conditioners and body lotions for its revitalizing scent and compatibility with certified organic bases, reinforcing the natural positioning of the finished product.
