Lemongrass Oil: Hygiene and Cleaning That Disinfects, Refreshes and Protects

How about offering hygiene and cleaning products that not only remove dirt, but also disinfect, perfume, and protect? With the natural strength and freshness of Lemongrass Oil, you’ll transform your customers’ perception: the citrusy and invigorating scent creates a unique sensory experience, while its antibacterial and antifungal properties ensure effective results.

Versatile, sustainable, and in line with eco-conscious consumer trends, Lemongrass Oil is the smart choice for your brand—one that seeks to combine performance, sustainability, and a memorable olfactory impact in its products.

 

What is Lemongrass Oil?

Also known as Cymbopogon citratus essential oil, Lemongrass Oil is extracted through steam distillation of the plant’s fresh leaves, originally from tropical climates.

Its fresh, citrusy and slightly herbal aroma instantly conveys a feeling of cleanliness and purity—a quality that’s highly valued by both brands and consumers looking for natural ingredients with a powerful sensory impact.

Beyond its unmistakable scent, Lemongrass Oil is known for its antimicrobial and deodorising properties. It also has insect-repelling, antiseptic, antifungal, and soothing effects, and is widely used in aromatherapy to promote relaxation, relieve stress and improve mood. That’s why Lemongrass Oil is such a versatile and functional ingredient, particularly suited for hygiene and cleaning products.

Looking to combine proven effectiveness with sustainability? Lemongrass Oil (also called Citronella or East Indian Lemon Grass Oil) is a strategic choice for your brand. Its main properties include:

  • Antibacterial and antifungal action: Lemongrass Oil helps eliminate germs and fungi, enhancing protection in a wide range of environments.
