INCI: Cymbopogon winterianus Oil

Citronella Essential Oil is a standardised essential oil steam distilled from Cymbopogon winterianus and used in outdoor blends, home fragrance, and body products that call for a fresh lemony aroma. It is especially well known in outdoor sprays, candles, and diffusers where a bright, citrus-herbal scent is wanted. The standardised profile helps keep the aroma more consistent from batch to batch, which can be useful in repeat-blend making. This is a concentrated essential oil and must be diluted before skin use.

♡ Why we love it: We choose to stock Citronella Essential Oil because it is one of the most practical outdoor and home-blend oils to keep on hand. The standardised scent profile is especially helpful for makers who want more predictable results in sprays, candles, and repeated batch work.

This product is certified: Vegan and Beauty Without Cruelty.
