Discover the fresh, bright and powerfully aromatic character of pure Citronella Essential Oil, steam distilled from the dried grass of Cymbopogon Nardus sourced from Java, Indonesia. Crisp, lemony and wonderfully invigorating — with a clean, green citrus freshness and a slightly earthy, grassy depth — Citronella is one of the most widely recognised and versatile essential oils in the world of natural home fragrance and outdoor living.

Citronella Essential Oil is perhaps best known as a natural, plant-based insect repellent — a use so well established that it has been registered in the USA as a bio-pesticide with a non-toxic mode of action since 1948. Ancient cultures across India, Egypt and Southeast Asia, where Cymbopogon grasses grew abundantly, used them to repel insects for centuries — a tradition that speaks to the oil's long and proven history as a natural outdoor companion.

Indonesia and China together produce approximately 40% of the world's Citronella Essential Oil, making Java one of the most important sources of this globally valued botanical. This 50ml size is ideal for professional formulators, candle makers, therapists and those who use Citronella regularly in their practice or product making.
