Background
Cymbopogon flexuous, also known as Cochin grass, Malabar grass, or Lemongrass, is a dense shrub found in moist regions of India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and other South-East Asian countries. The shrub has razor-shaped leaves that emit a strong fragrance with a lime-like hint. Lemongrass Essential Oil has been used to produce perfumes and natural remedies for centuries. Its trade began in the early 19th century and expanded globally due to its many benefits.
General Information
Ecodrop's Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil 10ml is produced from leaves of Cymbopogon flexuous grown in eastern India and certified under UK Soil Association Organic Standards. The top portion of the leaf holds the highest concentration of oil, which depletes under midday sun. To retain potency, we harvest early morning when dew is present. Leaves are shade-dried and steam-distilled, preserving the purity of this Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil.
