Citronella

Distilled from the tall citronella grasses of Asia, Citronella essential oil provides a crisp, herbal aroma for your home. It has versatile applications from soothing the skin to cleansing household surfaces and is an ideal companion for outdoor activities.

Description

Citronella essential oil has a crisp, lemony aroma, perfect for using inside the home or while spending time outdoors. With its fresh scent and soothing benefits, Citronella oil can be worn on your skin while camping and hiking, or simply diffuse it on your patio. This unique oil contains citronellal and geraniol, which are both excellent, naturally sourced solutions for cleaning household surfaces. Geraniol—a rich constituent you may recognize from Geranium oil and Rose oil—contributes powerful skin soothing benefits and helps promote clean, healthy-looking skin. Use Citronella oil in both your home cleaning or personal care for a cleansing boost and a pleasant, refreshed scent.
