Lemongrass oil

Lemongrass oil (CAS 8007-02-1) is a steam-distilled essential oil derived from Cymbopogon grasses, recognized across fragrance, flavor, and personal care markets for its sharp citrus-herbaceous character.

It functions as both a flavoring agent and a fragrance raw material, and serves as a natural source of citral for downstream aroma chemical production. In food and beverage manufacturing, it delivers authentic flavor profiles.

This oil is used in soups, sauces, teas, and seasoning blends. Fragrance houses use it as a cost-effective citral-rich base note in soap, detergent, and household cleaning product formulations for industrial use.

Personal care manufacturers incorporate it into shampoos, body washes, and skin care products where a fresh, herbal scent profile is required. It is a versatile ingredient for many cosmetic applications.

Pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulators source it as a flavoring component in oral preparations and herbal supplement products. It meets the rigorous demands of modern health and wellness manufacturing sectors.

Lemongrass oil is supplied as a pale yellow to amber mobile liquid, typically in drums or IBC containers for bulk orders. Standard commercial grades include food-grade and cosmetic-grade material for various uses.

Specifications are often aligned to FCC, BP, or ISO standards depending on the intended application. Citral content is a key quality indicator for buyers and is commonly specified at 70–85%.
