Handcraft Blends Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil is a USDA Organic, steam-distilled Cymbopogon flexuosus oil sourced from India. Its concentrated lemony, green and herbaceous aroma is suited to diffusers, custom scent blends, soaps, candles and properly diluted body or massage oils.
USDA Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil from India
Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil has a bold citrus-herbal scent with fresh lemon notes, a grassy middle and an earthy botanical finish. Its naturally citral-rich aromatic profile is more herbal than lemon peel oil and can quickly become prominent in a blend.
The oil is 100% pure and undiluted, without added carrier oils, synthetic fragrance or preservatives. Handcraft Blends packages it in amber glass with a dropper for controlled dispensing and reduced exposure to direct light.

How to Use Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil
Diffuser: Add approximately 3–5 drops per 100 mL of water, or follow the instructions supplied with your diffuser. Because lemongrass has a strong aroma, begin with fewer drops and use it in a well-ventilated room.
Aromatic blends: Pair lemongrass with bergamot or lemon for a brighter citrus direction, rosemary or clary sage for an herbal profile, or cedarwood, sandalwood and patchouli for deeper contrast. Add it gradually and record the proportions.
Soap and candle projects: Confirm compatibility with the chosen wax, soap base or fragrance formula. Follow the base supplier's usage-rate and temperature instructions and prepare a small test batch before scaling.
Topical Dilution for Body and Massage Oils
Organic Lemongrass Essential Oil must be diluted in jojoba, sweet almond, fractionated coconut or another compatible carrier oil before topical use. The current product directions list a general 1–2% range, approximately 6–12 drops per 30 mL of carrier oil.
Lemongrass oil contains naturally occurring fragrance allergens, including citral, and may irritate or sensitize skin. Cosmetic formulators should measure by weight and follow the applicable supplier or IFRA limit for the intended application. Use the lower end of the permitted range, patch test the finished blend and do not apply to broken or irritated skin.
Lemongrass vs. Lemon Essential Oil
Although both have citrus-like aromas, they come from different plants. Lemongrass essential oil is steam distilled from Cymbopogon flexuosus and has a grassy, earthy character. Lemon essential oil comes from Citrus limon and has a brighter scent associated with fresh lemon peel.
Organic vs. Standard Lemongrass Essential Oil
Both Handcraft Blends versions are steam-distilled Cymbopogon flexuosus oils sourced from India and share the same general citrus-herbal scent family. Choose this version when USDA Organic certification is important. Choose the standard version when organic certification is not a deciding factor.
