The official Lemongrass House website lists more than 1,200 products. The brand describes its production as hands-on and small-batch. This does not mean that every formula is the same or that one certification covers the entire range. Always check the ingredients, purpose and precautions on the individual product page and packaging.

How to choose Lemongrass House products
| Need | What to consider | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Room fragrance | A diffuser or home and pillow spray | A diffuser releases fragrance gradually; a spray gives a quick local effect |
| Textile fragrance | Lemongrass Towel Cologne 120 ml | Use only as directed on the product page and packaging |
| Home or professional massage | Ready-to-use massage oil set, 10 × 30 ml | A prepared massage oil is more practical for body use than a concentrated essential oil |
| Body care | Lemongrass Hydrating Body Cream 260 ml | Texture, fragrance, ingredients and your skin's individual response |
| Aroma diffuser or burner | Lemongrass Essential Oil 10 ml | Do not apply concentrated oil directly to the skin or ingest it |
Know the difference between oil formats
Essential oil is a concentrated aromatic product. Directions depend on the specific oil and the manufacturer's instructions.
Prepared massage oil is a blend of base and aromatic ingredients designed for body use according to its directions.
Pure carrier oil is a plant oil such as coconut or jojoba. Permitted uses depend on the individual product and its labelling.
Home or textile fragrance is a separate category and should not automatically be used on skin.
How to assess authenticity
Fragrance, product colour or the appearance of a package seam do not prove authenticity on their own. Natural materials, formulas and packaging designs may vary between batches.
- check the seller and the stated origin of the goods;
- inspect the packaging, factory label and batch marking where applicable;
- compare the actual product with its current listing and manufacturer labelling;
- remember that the manufacturer may update labels and packaging without changing the product's purpose.
