Lemongrass
A topical formulation of lemongrass essential oil and olive oil noticeably cools, deodorizes, softens, and hydrates the skin while offering a moderate sun protection factor of 5.5. This balanced approach suits most skin types, making it a thoughtful addition when delivered through lightweight serums. Because of its adaptable nature, the formula layers easily into any daily regimen.
