Lemongrass

Lemongrass essential oil is derived from the leaves and stems of the lemongrass plant (Cymbopogon citratus).

We chose Lemongrass for its fragrant citrus scent profile, but more importantly, Lemongrass essential oil possesses antimicrobial and antibacterial properties.  Making it a winner in our REFRESHED @ The Paddock, Helmet+ Spray.  It contains natural compounds such as citral, geraniol, and limonene, which contribute to its antimicrobial effects. Lemongrass oil has been shown to exhibit activity against various bacteria and fungi, including strains that can cause skin infections and respiratory issues.

Its antimicrobial properties make lemongrass essential oil useful for cleaning and purifying the air. It can also be incorporated into natural cleaning solutions and personal care products for its potential to inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms.
