Description

Lemongrass hydrosol is a botanical water obtained through the steam distillation of lemongrass, a tropical grass known scientifically as Cymbopogon citratus. It’s created as a byproduct during the extraction of lemongrass essential oil.

This hydrosol contains a lighter and more diluted version of the properties found in lemongrass essential oil, carrying a fresh, citrusy, and herbaceous aroma along with some of the beneficial characteristics of the plant. Lemongrass hydrosol has several potential uses:

1. Skincare: It’s valued for its potentially clarifying and toning properties, making it beneficial for skincare. Lemongrass hydrosol might be used as a facial toner or mist to help refresh, revitalize, and balance the skin.
2. Aromatherapy: Although less concentrated compared to the essential oil, lemongrass hydrosol retains a mild citrusy scent that’s considered invigorating and uplifting. It can be used in aromatherapy to create a refreshing atmosphere or in personal care products for its fragrance.
3. Natural Cleanser: Lemongrass is known for its cleansing properties. The hydrosol might be used as a natural household cleanser or room spray due to its fresh aroma.
