Ingredients

Cymbopogon Winterianus Oil

Citronella Essential Oil is steam-distilled from the vibrant green leaves of the Cymbopogon winterianus grass (commonly known as Java Citronella), where the plant's active aromatic compounds are most potent. It delivers an incredibly clean, sharp, lemony fragrance grounded by crisp, grassy and woody undertones that instantly purifies the air and revitalizes the mind.

In aromatherapy practices, this oil is highly valued for its sharp, clarifying, and energy-boosting qualities. It is perfect for cutting through mental fatigue, shaking off morning tiredness, and creating a refreshed atmosphere during active daytime hours.

When introduced to home routines, its powerful deodorizing properties make it an exceptional choice for morning diffuser blends, refreshing room mists, and natural sprays to lift away stagnant odors. For topical application, extra care must be taken because it naturally contains strong botanical compounds like citronellal and geraniol, it must always be thoroughly diluted with a carrier oil and patch-tested first to prevent skin irritation.
