8 Common Ingredients Found in Israeli Skin Care Products

Though lemongrass technically isn't a local crop in Israel, it remains one of the most common ingredients found in skin care and beauty products throughout the country. Consumers literally buy it in bulk oil form like you would olive or coconut oil here, and use it either in its pure form or combine it with other ingredients when creating DIY treatments.

Rosenberg says that lemongrass oil — and fresh lemongrass leaves — is good for acne-prone skin. It's also used in hair products to strengthen the shaft, soften, and add shine. It may even stimulate hair growth.

Yarok Hair Feed Your Sunshine Hair Serum ($30) contains lemongrass oil, along with jojoba, black currant seed oil, aloe vera, and geranium.
