Lemongrass Soap

 
Lemongrass Soap






Although lemongrass is not a native species to Montana’s prairie we can still appreciate its lemony, yet earthy, aroma.  Not only is lemongrass valued for its fragrant properties in perfumery or soapmaking, it is valued for its use in oriental cooking, teas, and medicinal purposes. 










 
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus)



In fact, citronellol is an essential oil constituent of lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) and the high citral content makes it an effective insect repellent.

The ground lemongrass herb perfectly complements the lemongrass essential oil in this soap.  The herb provides visual and textural appeal long after the soap has fully cured.
