NOW Foods Organic Lemongrass Oil is steam-distilled from certified organic Cymbopogon flexuosus — bringing all the benefits of this fresh, citrus-herbaceous essential oil with the added assurance of certified organic cultivation. High in citral, organic lemongrass oil is prized for its antimicrobial properties, its ability to support a relaxed, uplifting atmosphere when diffused, and its traditional use in muscle care blends for tension relief. The organic certification guarantees the absence of synthetic pesticides and herbicides in the growing and distillation process — an important consideration when applying oils to skin or using them in personal care formulations. NOW Foods tests this oil via GC/MS to verify identity, citral content, and absence of adulteration. Dilute thoroughly before topical use. Not for internal use.
