Hi,
I am just wondering if anyone has had any success incorporating Lemongrass essential oil into a body wash. I have a customer who wants this but my attempt to add it to our body wash formula has been unsuccessful with the essential oil oxidising and going yellow in a very short time.
I have spoken to my fragrance supplier and he thinks that it will be difficult to stop the oxidation even if I add an anti-oxidant like BHT.
Unfortunately I cannot change the body wash formula.
There are body wash products on the market with Lemongrass but the majority seem to be a blend with other essential oils.
Any thoughts or experiences that anyone would be willing to share would be most appreciated.
Thanks

do you absolutely have to use the oil? if you don't, you could go to a fragrance house to get a synthetic fragrance blend that smells like lemongrass but is less prone to oxidation
Thanks for the information. I think a synthetic fragrance might be easiest in the long run.
