Cymbopogon Schoenanthus (Lemongrass) Extract

Cymbopogon Schoenanthus Extract is derived from camel grass, a variety of lemongrass native to arid regions of Asia and Africa, distinguished from the more common Cymbopogon citratus by its unique aromatic profile and higher concentration of geraniol. This oil-soluble extract is particularly valued for its potent antimicrobial properties against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, making it useful in natural preservation systems, while its citral and geraniol content provides antioxidant benefits and a characteristic fresh, herbaceous scent. Formulators choose this specific lemongrass variety for its enhanced skin-soothing properties and its ability to function in anhydrous and lipophilic formulations where water-soluble extracts cannot be used.
