Citronella (Cymbopogon Nardus)

Description

Citronella oil is steam distilled from highly aromatic citronella grass native to Sri Lanka and Java.

• Citronella essential oil’s chemical components include citronellal and geraniol, both of which are excellent naturally sourced solutions for cleaning surfaces inside and outside the home.

• The combination of both these constituents, alongside its fresh, lemony aroma, is unique to citronella. Geraniol—a rich constituent you may recognize from Geranium oil and Rose oil—brings powerful skin-soothing benefits when applied topically, including its ability to promote clean and healthy-looking skin.

• Citonell is widely used in making insect and mosquito repellants, soaps,patio candles and torches
