• Topical application: Always dilute lemongrass essential oil with a carrier oil, such as jojoba or sweet almond oil, before applying it to the skin. Undiluted application can cause skin irritation or sensitization.
• Patch test: Before using topically, perform a patch test on a small area of your skin to check for any allergic reactions.

• Specific individuals: Use caution around infants, young children, and pets, especially cats, which lack the liver enzyme to process essential oils safely. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before use.
