Cymbopogon Flexuosus Oil beskrivning

_Cymbopogon flexuosus_ oil (also known as East Indian lemongrass oil) is an essential oil whose fragrance/volatile compounds pose a risk of irritation to skin (especially when used in high concentration). This irritation can range from noticeable redness, itchiness, and breakout-like rashes to less visible effects like a weakened skin barrier and premature aging that occur cumulatively over time. Among its roster of irritating compounds, _Cymbopogon flexuosus oil_ is composed of citral, linalool, geraniol, limonene and citronellol. These volatile compounds become pro-oxidant when exposed to air, further damaging skin. On the flip side, _Cymbopogon flexuosus oil_ offers some beneficial antioxidant compounds. However, there is no reason to put skin through the risk to get them when many non-irritating skin care ingredients offer the same benefits without the negative effects. Some people recommend _Cymbopogon flexuosus oil_ and other lemongrass oil varieties for blemish-prone skin. However, to avoid potential irritation, we advise against this. Scientifically proven acne fighters like salicylic acid (BHA) and benzoyl peroxide are more effective options. Further to the point, _Cymbopogon flexuosus oil_ lacks United States FDA approval for acne treatment. Note: _Cymbopogon flexuosus_ is just one of over 100 lemongrass species. This particular variety belongs to the _Cymbopogon_ genus within the Poaceae family.
