Lemongrass Essential Oil

In the world of sensitive skin, "Fragrance" is often a dirty word. And for good reason, synthetic perfumes (often listed as 'Parfum') are one of the leading causes of allergic reactions.

So, when you open your Nourish and Glow Face Oil and smell that burst of citrusy fresh air, you might pause.

But this isn't perfume. It’s Lemongrass Essential Oil. And we didn't include it just to make your bathroom smell like a spa (although that is a nice bonus). We included it because it has a job to do.

Here is the science behind why Lemongrass is a functional part of your routine, not just a decoration.

1. The Natural Astringent (Pore Control)

Lemongrass is chemically classified as a mild Astringent.

• What that means: It helps to contract and tighten body tissues.

• What it does for your face: When applied (in safe, diluted amounts), it helps to visually refine the appearance of pores and control excess oil production.

If Jojoba is the balancer, Lemongrass is the polisher. It gives your skin that tightened, toned finish without the drying effect of alcohol-based toners.

2. Psychodermatology: The Stress-Skin Connection

There is a new field of study called Psychodermatology, the link between your mind and your skin.

• The Fact: Stress releases Cortisol. Cortisol breaks down collagen and causes breakouts.

• The Fix: Lowering stress actually helps your skin heal.

The scent of Lemongrass is scientifically shown to reduce anxiety and promote relaxation. By inhaling it during your 3-minute routine, you are chemically signaling your body to lower its cortisol levels. You aren't just applying oil; you are creating a "Joyful Ritual" that stops stress-aging in its tracks.

3. Is It Safe for Sensitive Skin?

Safety is our obsession. Essential oils are powerful, and they can be irritating if used incorrectly.

That is why we use a precision-formulated dilution ratio. We use just enough Lemongrass to trigger the astringent and sensory benefits, but not enough to overwhelm the skin barrier. It is suspended in a rich base of Jojoba and Hemp Seed Oil, which act as buffers to ensure it is gentle enough for daily use.
