Lemongrass is a perennial tropical plant native to India which grows long aromatic leaves that can grow up to 1.5 metres (5 ft).

-Lemongrass is toning and has deodorising properties when applied to the skin.
-Lemongrass oil has a bright and cheerful fragrance that is often associated with a positive feeling.
-The plant and its oil have been traditionally used as a natural mosquito repellent.
-The oil is often used in massage products for a comforting and relaxing experience.

Thanks to its cleansing properties, lemongrass oil is excellent for use in deodorants. It helps keep you feeling clean and fresh whilst smelling great. It is also used in oral care products for the same reason.

Lush purchases lemongrass oil from India, but also sources the raw plant from other parts of the world to make infusions.
