Lemongrass Hydrosol

Description

Lemongrass Hydrosol is a colorless liquid extract obtained from steam distillation of the fresh blades of lemongrass. It is native to India. The aroma of lemon grass is fresh with a hint of lemon and a tiny touch of spice.
This hydrosol is derived by steam distilling dried lemongrass leaves. The floral water has a lemony scent which is milder and sweeter than lemon. It is effective as a refreshing and astringent toner for oily or acne-prone skin, helping to regulate sebum production, minimize the appearance of pores and reduce the formation of acne and blackheads.

The Lemongrass Hydrosol can also be used on the body and scalp. Hair is left feeling soft and shiny when rinsed with water. The floral water is well suited as a natural fragrance or after shave mist. It helps reduce unpleasant odors and is an excellent insect repellent. Spray on a tissue and use as a hand sanitizer or refreshing wipe. Lemongrass has a soothing effect and can thus be used to purify the air.

SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
Probably the most popular use for lemongrass hydrosols is in skin care products. Lemongrass pops up in all kinds of skin care products too, from facial toners and creams to lotions and body wash. The reasoning is twofold: lemongrass has properties that lend it very well to astringent products, but it also carries compounds that add invigorating smells to other products. The astringent properties in particular make lemongrass a perfect after-care lotion to help sooth skin after shaving. It can also protect the skin from any dirt or grime that may come its way.

SHAMPOO AND HAIR CARE PRODUCTS
People love adding lemongrass to their shampoo and haircare products for one simple reason: it smells absolutely wonderful. Since hair tends to hold on to scents more than our skin, using a great smelling shampoo will help your hair smell wonderful. And people use it in all sorts of ways. The uplifting smell is a perfect way to stay in a special someone?s mind long after your gone. Or it can help you have great-smelling hair if your regular shampoo is lacking a certain pizzazz. People use it all kinds of ways, but mixing it in with your final stage hair care product may be a good way to keep as much of this hydrosol?s smell as possible.

AROMATHERAPY
The soothing yet refreshing smell of lemongrass makes its hydrosol one of the better hydrosols for aromatherapy. The smell is perfect for giving a space extra positive energy that at once keeps people alert and calm. People also use it during meditation, where the special combination of smells works as a perfect greeting for people coming out of a guided meditation. The soothing smell provides a welcoming presence, while the uplifting effect helps them get reacquainted with the world around them. So if you?re looking for a new scent for your own meditation routine, consider trying lemongrass hydrosols.
