What is Lemon grass Oil 70%?

Lemon grass oil is an essential oil obtained primarily from the leaves of the Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian Lemon grass) or Cymbopogon flexuosus (East Indian Lemon grass) varieties. The "70%" denotes the citral content, the key aromatic compound responsible for the oil’s characteristic fresh lemon-like scent and many therapeutic properties.

This oil is widely valued for its bright, citrusy fragrance and versatile uses across aromatherapy, cosmetics, food flavoring, and natural health products.

• Appearance: Clear pale yellow to amber liquid.
• Odor: Fresh, sweet lemon aroma with grassy undertones.
• Citral Content: Minimum 70% citral (sum of neral and geranial) ensures potency and quality.

• Refractive Index: Typically around 1.482 - 1.488.

Our Lemon grass Oil 70% complies with international essential oil quality standards, including ISO and IFRA guidelines.

Production and Harvesting Process

Lemongrass is harvested when the plants are mature and rich in essential oil content, usually between 90-120 days after planting. The extraction process primarily uses steam distillation, where fresh lemongrass leaves are subjected to steam under controlled conditions, releasing the volatile oil which is then condensed and collected.

Care is taken to avoid overheating or prolonged distillation that can degrade the oil quality. The final product is filtered and tested for purity before packaging.
