What It Does

Cymbopogon Flexuosus Oil is an essential oil steam-distilled from the East Indian lemongrass plant, prized for its fresh, citrusy fragrance with distinctive lemony-grassy notes. This oil contains high levels of citral (geranial and neral), which provides both its characteristic scent and natural antimicrobial properties. Formulators choose this specific lemongrass variety over Cymbopogon citratus for its superior fragrance profile and higher citral content, making it particularly valuable in natural deodorants, cleansing products, and aromatherapy formulations.
