Couldn't load pickup availability
Lemongrass CO2 Select Extract is a vibrant aromatic botanical extract produced from the leaves and aerial parts of Cymbopogon citratus using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. This select extract captures the bright, fresh, lemony, green, and herbaceous aromatic character of lemongrass in a concentrated oil-soluble format.
Compared with a conventional steam-distilled lemongrass essential oil, a CO2 Select Extract may offer a more rounded, nuanced, and naturally full-bodied profile, combining sparkling citrus freshness with green leaves, soft herbaceous warmth, and lightly sweet botanical undertones.
Its distinctive aroma is driven by naturally occurring citral-rich components, which give lemongrass its recognizable fresh lemon peel, lemon candy, clean herbal, and sharp green character. The result is a powerful natural perfumery ingredient that brings brightness, lift, freshness, and energetic citrus-herbal character to fragrances and aromatic body care formulations.
Lemongrass CO2 Select Extract is ideal for natural perfumery, citrus-herbal accords, body oils, massage blends, solid perfumes, botanical balms, spa-inspired formulations, candles, soaps, home fragrance concepts, and premium aromatic skincare.
