Questions and Answers (FAQ)
Q: Is lemongrass essential oil irritating to the skin?
A: Lemongrass has a high content of citral, a molecule that can be irritating or sensitizing to the skin if used in too high concentrations. For this reason, it is recommended to use it in low dilutions and to always perform a tolerance test in the bend of the elbow 24 hours before use.
Q: Why is lemongrass essential oil not considered a major photosensitizer?
A: Although it has a strong citrus scent, lemongrass is obtained by distilling the leaves of an aromatic grass, not by cold pressing citrus peels (which contain photosensitizing coumarins). However, due to the potential for skin sun-sensitization on very sensitive skin, caution and compliance with the indicated dilutions are recommended.
Q: What is the difference between Lemongrass and Lemon?
A: They are completely different plants. Lemon is a citrus fruit with oil extracted from the peel, while Lemongrass is a distilled tropical grass. Although both have a citrus smell, Lemongrass is much stronger and earthier, offering superior repellent and toning properties.

I received this essential oil as a gift, when I bought the diffuser from the ellemental offer, which has been working with me almost every day since March 2022. I really like to put it in the diffuser, and sometimes I also add it in a cream that I apply before an outing in nature or in a place where I know there are insects. I have a problem with allergies and prefer to be preventative.

I used it to make the charcoal soap according to the recipe on the Elemental website and it turned out great for face cleansing. For people with dry skin, there is some feeling of tight skin, but it is due to both the soap , and the water. The fragrance has held very well and has mitigated the intense scent of EU Tea Tree.

True to the description I studied a list of 27 anti-inflammatory essential oils, and along with other essential oils, I got it for ozonating and anointing the skin for bones affected by cancer with good effect! I also bought it to make melt & pour soap, it's a quality perfuming, with pleasant smell and fresh invigorating besides benefits. I'm glad to find it here and a few ml, and everyone can afford and can take it often!
