Source pure, natural lemongrass oil in bulk from Satyasha Chemicals — a Kanpur-based essential-oil and aromatic-chemical supplier with 25+ years in the trade. Lemongrass oil (from the Cymbopogon grass) is a bright, fresh, citrus-herbaceous oil valued for its high citral content and clean lemony aroma. It is widely used across soap and detergents, cosmetics and personal care, fragrances and perfumery, aromatherapy and home-fragrance products. Whether you need trial quantities for formulation or repeat bulk supply for production, Satyasha offers dependable sourcing, custom packaging and export-ready dispatch.
Product Overview
Lemongrass oil is an essential oil steam-distilled from the leaves of aromatic Cymbopogon grasses — chiefly Cymbopogon flexuosus (East Indian / Cochin lemongrass) and Cymbopogon citratus (West Indian lemongrass). India is one of the world’s leading producers and exporters of lemongrass oil, particularly the East Indian type, which is prized for its high citral content.
The oil is typically a mobile-to-slightly-viscous liquid, pale yellow to amber in colour, with a powerful fresh, grassy, lemony-citrus aroma and herbaceous undertones. Its character comes largely from citral — a pair of monoterpene aldehydes (geranial and neral) — supported by compounds such as myrcene, geraniol and limonene. In perfumery it functions as a bright top note and a versatile blender, pairing well with geranium, palmarosa, citronella, lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus and cedarwood.
Commercially, lemongrass oil is a workhorse raw material. It brings a clean, energising lemon-grass scent to soaps and detergents, adds freshness to cosmetics and personal-care formulations, contributes to fine and functional fragrances, and is a staple of aromatherapy and home-fragrance ranges (diffusers, candles, room and car fresheners). Its natural citral content also makes it a feedstock of interest to the wider aroma-chemical industry.
Typical buyers include soap and detergent makers, cosmetic and personal-care formulators, fragrance and perfumery houses, aromatherapy and wellness brands, and home-fragrance manufacturers — domestically and for export. Satyasha supplies lemongrass oil to trade and industry buyers through a simple bulk-enquiry process. Grade, species, citral specification and packaging can be confirmed against your requirement.

Quality & Storage
General product guidance
- Quality is typically judged on aroma, colour/clarity and citral content; buyers often request GC/GC-MS profiles to confirm composition and screen for adulteration or species substitution.
- Store in a cool, dry, dark place in tightly sealed, appropriate containers (amber glass, food/pharma-grade HDPE or aluminium), away from direct sunlight, heat and prolonged air exposure.
- Keep containers closed to limit oxidation; lemongrass oil is sensitive to light and air over time.
- Handle per the product SDS: undiluted essential oils can irritate skin and eyes, so dilute for topical formulation and use suitable PPE when handling bulk.
- For traceability, buyers commonly retain batch/lot references and request documentation such as COA and MSDS.
