About this product

Fresh, crisp, and uplifting, Citronella Essential Oil (Cymbopogon winterianus) is well-known as nature’s refreshing cleanser and one of the most effective natural insect repellents. Steam-distilled from the tall grass of the citronella plant, this oil offers a lemony, slightly sweet, and grassy aroma that purifies the air, boosts energy, and repels insects naturally.

Traditionally used for cleansing and protective purposes, Citronella is ideal for outdoor gatherings, meditation in fresh spaces, and DIY home-care blends. In aromatherapy, its vibrant fragrance helps uplift mood, ease stress, and refresh the mind. Citronella Oil is also valued for its natural deodorizing qualities, making it a versatile addition to home and wellness rituals.
