The quality and purity of Lemongrass Essential Oil will vary depending on where the oil is purchased. Therefore, to ensure you’re purchasing a pure, quality product, be sure to look out for the following things on the bottle.
At AWO, we ethically source our Lemongrass Essential Oil from India and do not dilute it with any other ingredients. This means you’re getting exactly what you pay for, 100% pure Lemongrass Essential Oil naturally extracted via steam distillation.
Although rare, Lemongrass Oil use may result in skin irritations or allergic reactions. That's why we always recommend performing a skin patch test before incorporating Lemongrass Oil into your routine.
AWO’s Lemongrass Oil is 100% pure and therefore very concentrated, so we always recommend diluting before using topically. Because they are so potent, essential oils can cause serious harm if ingested without the necessary expertise.
For this reason, you should never ingest essential oils. We also recommend storing your Lemongrass Essential Oil in a cool, dry place at room temperature, ensuring that they are not directly exposed to sunlight and are out of reach of children or pets.
