Components

Time to talk chemistry! We’re drawn to Pure Lemongrass because this oil contains components (you may have also heard them called “constituents”) that work together to affect our body in unique ways. Let’s break it down:

  • GERANIAL

    This abundant component provides a sweet citrus aroma to lemongrass.

  • NERAL

    Similar to geranial in abundance and aroma, neral contributes to the lemony aroma that makes lemongrass oil so popular.

  • LIMONENE

    This sweet component helps add to Lemongrass’s energizing citrus scent.

Lemongrass's Backstory

Native to tropical regions such as Asia, lemongrass has traditionally been used for cosmetic purposes. Lemongrass continues to be among the most popular essential oils used for its effectiveness and versatility.

So how did lemongrass gain popularity around the world?

During the 1900s, news about the lemongrass plant and its essential oil began to spread quickly when a Sri Lankan researcher planted lemongrass at a farm in order to study its many uses. Lemongrass would eventually be commercially cultivated in Florida and Haiti in 1947.
