Indian Lemongrass Oil – Pure Cymbopogon flexuosus, Steam Distilled at Our India Factory
If there is one essential oil that delivers more versatility per drop than almost any other, it is genuine Indian Lemongrass Oil. Fresh, citrusy, intensely aromatic — and backed by one of the longest documented histories of use in Ayurvedic medicine, food flavoring, and industrial fragrance. We are manufactures and wholesalers of this oil ourselves at our factory in India, steam distilling it directly from fresh Cymbopogon flexuosus — the true Indian Lemongrass species — and supplying it with full documentation from 10ml retail samples to bulk quantities of 100kg and beyond.
Why Cymbopogon flexuosus Specifically?
There are two main lemongrass species on the market. Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian Lemongrass) is widely grown and commonly available. Cymbopogon flexuosus — East Indian or Cochin Lemongrass — is the Indian species, and it is considered the superior material for essential oil production. It has a higher citral content — the primary aromatic compound responsible for the characteristic lemon-fresh scent — which gives it a brighter, more intense, and more tenacious fragrance than its West Indian counterpart. It is the species most used in professional fragrance, flavor, and therapeutic applications.
The Scent Profile:
Pure Indian Lemongrass Oil is intensely citrusy and fresh — bright, clean, and immediately recognizable. It has a grassy-herbal quality underneath the citrus top that gives it depth and character beyond a simple lemon note. It is energizing and uplifting in aromatherapy use, clean and versatile in fragrance blending, and powerfully effective as a natural insect repellent and surface cleanser.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Indian Lemongrass Oil?
Indian Lemongrass Oil is steam distilled from fresh Cymbopogon flexuosus — the East Indian or Cochin Lemongrass species. It has a bright, intensely fresh citrusy scent with high citral content, and is one of the most versatile essential oils available — used in aromatherapy, fragrance, skincare, food flavoring, insect repellent, and industrial applications.
Why Cymbopogon flexuosus and not citratus?
Cymbopogon flexuosus (East Indian) typically has higher citral content than Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian) — which means a brighter, more intense scent and greater effectiveness in therapeutic and fragrance applications. It is the species preferred by professional formulators worldwide.
