This 10-piece kraft box set contains lemongrass essential oil (Cymbopogon citratus) in 10 ml bottles, supplied without labels. Lemongrass is a widely cultivated aromatic grass in India's tropical regions, and the oil is produced by steam distillation of the fresh leafy stems. The set provides steady supply for recipe development and regular aromatherapy use.
Botanical background and chemical profile
Cymbopogon citratus is a tall, tufted grass cultivated as a useful crop in several Indian states. The main component of the essential oil is citral (a combination of geranial and neral isomers), with geranyl acetate and smaller proportions of monoterpenes alongside. This composition delivers the distinctive citrus-grassy aroma.
Steam distillation from India
The leafy plant parts are heated with water vapour; volatile aromatic compounds rise with the steam, then cool and separate from the aqueous phase. The method preserves a high citral content, giving the oil its lively citrus character.
Areas of use
- Aromatherapy diffusion as an uplifting room scent
- Scenting cosmetic body care and foot care preparations
- Handmade soaps and deodorant blocks
- Middle or top notes in custom perfume compositions
Benefits of the unlabelled format
The unlabelled bottles allow you to apply your own markings, keeping recipe identification consistent in your workflow. The 10-piece kraft box stores together and travels securely as one unit.
Storage and shelf life
Store in a cool place protected from light, tightly sealed. Unopened it retains its quality for 2-3 years. Citral can be skin-sensitising, so in skin preparations we recommend a dilution around 0.7-1%, up to a maximum of 1-3%, with a patch test beforehand.
