It is a perennial fast-growing aromatic grass, growing to about 1 meter (3 feet) high with long, thin leaves and originally was growing wild in India. Lemongrass is also cultivated in the West Indies, Thailand, Indionesia and Sri Lanka.
In India it is known as 'choomana poolu' and is also referred to as 'Indian Verbena' or 'Indian Melissa oil' and used in Ayurvedic medicine. Lemongrass oil is extracted from the fresh or partly dried leaves by steam distillation. It is a valuable ingredient in perfumes and fine organic soaps and beauty preparations.

Botanical Name: Cymbopogon citratum

Plant Origin: Grass

Aromatherapy Properties: Psycho-Emotional
Lemongrass Oil boosts self esteem, confidence, hope and mental strength, uplifts spirit and fights depression. It relieves anxiety and stress.


Indigofera Beauty Solutions:
Indigofera has always recognized the benefits of the Earth's gifts through essential oils. We first used lemongrass in the Nourishing Hair Serum, formally know as (Jojoba Hair Oil). When our clients began to rave about the scent, we decided to infused the Organic Hair Souffle' formally, (Silky Soufflé) and Botanical Hairdress with lemongrass too. Indigofera offers lavender, peppermint, ylang-ylang, orange, lemon, lime in our aromatherapy blends. Due to its uplifting and revitalizing properties, Lemongrass has become Indigofera's signature aroma for Hair Care Rituals.

Ask the Expert: Skin Care Question


I am in my thirties, and I wear sheer foundation, mascara and lipstick for a daytime look. Sometimes my skin looks dull and gets a little dry around the nose. What can I do keep my skin healthy and soft?

Answer:

Great question,

Good skin care is important to keep your complexion radiant. Remember to cleanse your skin twice daily, remove your mascara with a gentle eye makeup remover and moisturize your face and neck with a plant based antioxidant rich ingredients. I recommend Indigofera Hydrating Skin Crème it is formulated with twelve organic botanicals , jojoba, grapeseed, and avocado as the perfect moisturizer for healthy skin. Wear it bare or as a primer for flawless makeup.Apply daily for noticeably smoother, softer, and younger looking skin in just 4 weeks. Hydrating Skin Crème absorbs quickly and lasts all day long

Plant based benefits.
Organic Chamomile: proven to have anti-inflammatory healing benefits.
Organic Aloe: used to soothe and calm your skin.
Organic Green Tea: an expert antioxidant to fight age and skin damage.
