A Detox Solution for Your Skin & Hair

Let’s clear something up—lemongrass is not lemon, but it might just become your new favorite citrus-scented skincare and haircare ingredient. With its bright, fresh aroma and powerful purifying properties, lemongrass isn’t just about good vibes—it’s about real results.

Used for centuries in Ayurvedic and traditional Southeast Asian medicine, lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) is more than just a fragrant herb. It’s a natural antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory, making it a potent ally in your clean beauty routine—especially if you’re struggling with oily skin, scalp irritation, or product buildup.

At Nature’s Nectress, we believe in plant-based ingredients that do more than smell amazing—they work. That’s why lemongrass is the key botanical in both our Lemongrass Purifying Gel Cleanser and Lemongrass Hydrating Hair Mist—two staples designed to refresh, rebalance, and revive from head to toe.

Why is Lemongrass a Beauty Must-Have?

You might recognize lemongrass from teas, essential oils, or even your favorite Thai dish—but this aromatic plant has serious skin and hair benefits that have made it a staple in natural wellness traditions around the world.

Here's what makes lemongrass so special:

• Citral, its primary active compound, is a natural antimicrobial and astringent, which helps balance oil production and fight acne-causing bacteria.

• It’s rich in antioxidants, which help neutralize free radicals and protect skin and scalp from environmental damage.

• It’s also known to reduce inflammation, making it ideal for calming redness, sensitivity, and flakiness.

Backed by research:

• A 2010 study published in Pharmacognosy Reviews confirmed that lemongrass oil demonstrated strong antimicrobial and antifungal activity, helping support clearer skin and a healthier scalp.

• According to the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (2020), lemongrass oil also exhibits significant antioxidant activity, which can help reduce signs of aging and oxidative stress.

Why We Chose Lemongrass

At Nature’s Nectress, every ingredient is selected with purpose. Lemongrass isn't just trendy—it’s trusted. Its ability to detoxify, soothe, and refresh both skin and hair makes it one of the most versatile botanicals in our lineup.

Whether you're clearing out pore-clogging buildup or reviving tired curls, lemongrass brings calm, clarity, and care to your routine.

Lemongrass for Skin: A Breath of Fresh Air

Tired of cleansers that strip your skin dry or leave behind a filmy residue? Lemongrass could be the solution your complexion’s been craving.

Its natural astringency helps minimize pores and balance oil, while its calming properties reduce inflammation and support a more even skin tone. Unlike harsh actives, lemongrass is gentle enough for most skin types—especially oily, acne-prone, or combination skin.

Skin Benefits of Lemongrass:

• Deep-cleanses without over-drying
• Minimizes the appearance of pores
• Reduces redness and inflammation
• Fights acne-causing bacteria naturally

Why it’s in our Lemongrass Purifying Gel Cleanser:
We chose lemongrass for this cleanser because it purifies and detoxifies skin without the use of sulfates, parabens, or synthetic fragrance. It leaves your skin feeling clean and refreshed—not tight or irritated.

Lemongrass for Hair: Fresh, Balanced, and Nourished

Your scalp is skin too—so it deserves ingredients that nurture, not strip. Lemongrass supports a clean, healthy scalp by helping to remove buildup, calm irritation, and even boost circulation to encourage healthy growth.

It’s also a standout for hair itself, adding light hydration and that fresh, clean scent that makes you feel like you just stepped out of the spa.

Hair Benefits of Lemongrass:

• Soothes itchy, irritated scalps
• Helps prevent excess oil and buildup
• Adds lightweight hydration and shine
• Refreshes curls and textured styles

Why it’s in our Lemongrass Hydrating Hair Mist:
Perfect for refreshing hair between wash days or reviving second-day curls, this mist delivers hydration without heaviness. Lemongrass helps maintain scalp health while giving hair a clean scent and light, airy texture.
