Product Description:
Lemongrass essential oil is made by steam distilling the leaves of this grass. It is often used in cooking but has many other uses as well. The scent is citrusy but also a little bitter. Many conventional cleaners uses a synthetic version of this oil, so the scent may be reminiscent of cleaning products.
