Shelf Life of Lemongrass Essential Oil:
Our freshly decanted Lemongrass essential oil will last for 2-3 years minimum from when you open your amber glass bottle if stored correctly:
Primary Storage Considerations:
Keep away from direct light (U.V. radiation)
Keep in the amber glass bottle with lid tightly closed. Only open when you need to and decant into a smaller "working" amber glass bottle if possible (and label so you know what is in it). This is to reduce oxidation.
Secondary Storage Considerations:
Keep in a refrigerator at around 4 degrees celsius.
The refreshing aroma of the herbaceous lemongrass can help you soothe the skin and hair.
Lemongrass essential oil has a strong and herbaceous aroma that has a ‘lemony’ touch due to its citral content. The antibacterial, antifungal and sedative properties of this exotic oil can act as a tonic for the body, and can also help you fight infections.
This is a highly versatile oil that blends with just about every other oil blend.
