Question 1

What is the difference between lemon verbena and lemongrass oil?

Accepted Answer

Lemon verbena (Aloysia triphylla) is a Verbenaceae shrub with a delicate floral-citrus oil. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus or flexuosus) is a Poaceae grass with a stronger, sharper citrus-green aroma. This product is true Aloysia triphylla from Spanish cultivation.

Question 2

How should lemon verbena essential oil be stored and how long does it keep?

Accepted Answer

Store in a cool, dark place below 25 °C, in a tightly closed bottle. Due to the high aldehyde content, the oil is sensitive to oxidation. Unopened shelf life is 1-2 years; once opened, use within 9-12 months to preserve the fresh aromatic notes.

Question 3

Can lemon verbena essential oil be applied to the skin and is it photosensitising?

Accepted Answer

In a carrier oil (sweet almond, jojoba) it is typically used at 0.5-1% concentration in skincare. Due to its high citral content it can be sensitising and mildly phototoxic; avoid direct sunlight for 12 hours after application. For sensitive skin, a patch test is recommended.
