Escentia Organic Citronella Pure Essential Oil is a single-ingredient organic essential oil steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the citronella plant, used in aromatherapy, home fragrancing, and outdoor blend formulations where a bright, fresh citrus aroma is wanted. It is especially popular in room sprays, candles, diffuser blends, and natural outdoor-use recipes because of its lively, cleansing scent. This is a pure essential oil, not a ready-to-use spray or body product, so it should always be diluted appropriately before skin use. Its crisp, uplifting character makes it a practical staple for both home and body care makers.

♡ Why we love it: Citronella is one of those wonderfully useful oils that feels just as at home in a candle or room spray as it does in a well-planned outdoor blend. This organic version brings that familiar fresh, vibrant scent in a simple, versatile format that works beautifully across all kinds of DIY projects.

This product is certified: Certified Organic.
