Lemongrass Essential Oil — The B.A.R.E. Oil of the Month!

Soothing, balancing, and relaxing, lemongrass essential oil has a mildly sweet, fresh, and clean aroma. Because of its antioxidant and bacteria-fighting properties — high in vitamins and essential minerals — it's often known as the "energetic cleanser." It is an abundant source of necessary vitamins such as A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, folate, and vitamin C, along with essential minerals such as magnesium, phosphorous, manganese, copper, potassium, calcium, zinc, and iron.
