Citronella Essential Oil

A rich and sweet aroma, citronella essential oil has a fresh herbaceous, almost lemony aroma. Calming and uplifting, it is often used in skin care for a fresh scent.

Our organic citronella oil is steam distilled from Cymbopogon winterianus, commonly called Java citronella, and is used more often in the perfume and fragrance industries than other citronella species.

A green and fruity top note, citronella essential oil is steam distilled from a perennial grass native to south Asia. It is universally known to ward off insects, especially mosquitoes. Great for camping trips or dinner in the backyard.

Add essential oils to liquid hand soap blends, sugar scrubs, and shampoo. Use it to create woodsy scented lotions and creams.

Never use essential oils undiluted, in eyes or mucus membranes. Do not take internally unless working with a qualified and expert practitioner. Keep away from children.

Before using perform a small patch test on your inner forearm or back. Apply a small quantity of diluted essential oil and cover with a bandage. If you experience any irritation use carrier oil or cream to further dilute the essential oil, and then wash with soap and water. If no irritation occurs after 48 hours it is safe to use on your skin.
