Citronella Essential Oil
Citronella is a robust, tall grass with a sweet, citrusy, lemony, woody aroma growing wild across Indonesia. Steam distilled from the green blades, the extracted oil components include Citronellal, Citronellol, and Geraniol, which are known for their cleansing properties.
We use the particularly sought after Java variety. Higher in Citronellal and Citronellol giving our oil a more robust, fresh, and lemon-like scent.
