Lemongrass Hydrosol Organic

Lemongrass Hydrosol Organic is a colorless floral water (INCI: Cymbopogon flexuosus (Lemongrass)) made in the USA, with a fresh, citrusy and herbal scent. It is used in toners, lotions, creams, shampoos, hair tonics and shower gels, and even as cosmetic ice. Choose 4 oz, 8 oz, 16 oz or 32 oz bottles to match your project.

What Is Lemongrass Hydrosol?

A hydrosol is the aromatic water collected during steam distillation of a plant. According to the current product text, this one is distilled from lemongrass leaves. It is water-based, so it carries a much softer aroma than lemongrass essential oil and can replace part of the water in many products. Hydrosol and essential oil are different materials and cannot be swapped one for one.

Properties

Refreshing aroma

The bright lemony-green scent gives a lively, clean impression in mists, tonics and shower products.

Clarifying feel on skin

The product text describes natural astringent properties that help skin look fresher and pores less visible, making it a natural fit for toners.

Water solubility

It mixes freely with water and water-soluble ingredients. The listed pH range is 3 to 9.

Applications

Face care: toners, refreshing mists and the water phase of light lotions and creams. Hair care: shampoos and hair tonics for an invigorating scalp feel. Body care: shower gels and cooling body sprays and after-workout refreshers. It can also be used in pure form or frozen as cosmetic ice. For a softer citrus note, compare it with Mandarin Hydrosol Organic, or browse every option in our hydrosols and floral waters section.

How to Use

Use the hydrosol in place of part of the distilled water in the water phase. Add it at the cool-down stage when possible to keep the aroma bright. Any product you plan to store needs a suitable preservative, followed by pH, aroma and stability checks. Avoid contact with the eyes.

Compatibility

Lemongrass hydrosol combines well with other floral waters such as Eucalyptus Globulus Organic Hydrosol for a fresh, sporty profile, and with water-soluble ingredients like D-Panthenol 75% in hair mists. Oils need an emulsifier or solubilizer to blend in.
