Lemongrass

Zingy, citrus-fresh, and unmistakably vibrant — lemongrass essential oil is a skincare and aromatherapy favourite for good reason. Known for its clarifying, antimicrobial properties and mood-brightening aroma, this essential oil brings a clean energy to any product it touches.

At Made in Hemp, we use lemongrass oil in our naturally purifying Hemp Seed Oil Soap – Lemongrass, and we’re excited to introduce it soon in our essential oil roller perfume blends — perfect for those who love a crisp, citrusy scent with a subtle herbal edge.

What Is Lemongrass Essential Oil?

Lemongrass essential oil is steam-distilled from the tall, aromatic grass of the Cymbopogon citratus plant. It’s rich in:

Citral – known for its antibacterial, antifungal, and refreshing properties

Geraniol & Neral – support skin clarity and provide a vibrant floral-citrus aroma

Limonene – helps tone and energise skin

Its bold, lemony scent is both reviving and grounding, with herbal undertones that give it a uniquely fresh personality.

Skin & Aromatherapy Benefits of Lemongrass Oil

For the skin:

Cleanses and clarifies – ideal for oily or blemish-prone skin

Supports tone and texture – gentle astringent qualities help minimise the appearance of pores

Naturally antimicrobial – useful for daily cleansing without stripping the skin

For the mind and mood:

Energising and mood-lifting – ideal for a mid-day reset or mental clarity

Deodorising and freshening – helps neutralise odours in a clean, botanical way

Great for focus and emotional clarity — without overstimulation

Why We Use Lemongrass Essential Oil

We include lemongrass essential oil because it offers a beautifully fresh, functional experience:

In soap, it provides a naturally invigorating cleanse that’s perfect for morning showers or post-exercise refresh

In perfume rollers, it forms the bright, energetic top note that blends perfectly with woods, herbs, and florals

It supports our belief in skincare and scent that’s plant-based, purposeful, and uplifting
