MORE THAN REFRESHING Lemon grass is native to tropical regions, e.g. to India, Africa, Indonesia or South America. Due to its intense smell, lemon grass is one of the most popular fragrances. Be it as a spice in the kitchen, as aromatic oil in perfumes or cosmetics, or in medicinal compounds: the ethereal oil has a fresh smell and a stimulating effect. The evergreen, herbaceous plant belongs in the family of sweet grasses and can reach a height of 50 cm to 2 m. Nowadays, it is grown in bigger areas under cultivation in order to win and pro- cess high amounts of ethereal oil. The light yellowish oil is won by distillation of the leaves. Because of its stimulating properties, the oil is often used in refreshing bath supplements or in massage oils. A pos- itive side effect is that it cleans and lifts the skin. The oil cannot be used undiluted, however, because in its pure form it might lead to skin irritation. The refreshing scent is also believed to put people in an optimistic mood, to dis- pel black thoughts and fretfulness and replace them with confidence. At AURO, we use the lemon grass oil of the tropical grass Andropogon flexuosus that is native to East Inidia. According to our product composition, the distillate is added as last ingredient to give numerous AURO cleaners their stimulating scent. LEMON GRASS OIL ORIGIN: INDIA 40
