Origin
Lemongrass essential oil is a vibrant and uplifting ingredient featured in Simply Bee’s Body Butter, Natural Roll-On Deodorant, Insect Repellent, and the Freedom Solid Perfume. Known for its refreshing citrus aroma and versatile benefits, this oil is a cornerstone in natural skincare and wellness products.
Lemongrass essential oil is derived from the leaves and stalks of the Cymbopogon plant, which is native to tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and Australia. For centuries, it has been a vital part of traditional medicine, used to treat fevers, digestive issues, and inflammation. Its bright, invigorating scent has also made it popular in aromatherapy for promoting relaxation and clarity.
The production of Lemongrass essential oil begins with the harvesting of fresh leaves and stalks. These are then steam distilled, a process that extracts the oil while preserving its therapeutic properties. The resulting oil is rich in compounds like citral and limonene, which contribute to its antimicrobial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory qualities. Consequently, Lemongrass oil is a perfect addition to personal care products, offering both fragrance and functionality.
