Citronella Essential Oil

Citronella Essential Oil
Cymbopogon winterianus | Leaves | Steam Distilled

Bracing, fresh, and lemony, Citronella Essential Oil is well known for its natural insect repelling qualities, making it a staple for outdoor sprays, candles, and summer skincare. Steam distilled from the fragrant leaves of Cymbopogon winterianus, this Genuine grade oil offers powerful cleansing and deodorising properties alongside its crisp, energising scent.

Traditionally used to help deter mosquitoes and purify the air, Citronella is also valued for its stimulating yet clarifying nature, supporting mental focus while creating a clean, fresh environment. In DIY and skincare, it’s commonly blended into foot sprays, balms, or body oils for its antifungal, antibacterial and mildly anti inflammatory effects, particularly where sweat or odour control is desired.

Whether added to a room mist, garden candle, or roll on bug blend, Citronella brings practical versatility and vibrant freshness to your home and body care creations.
