Citronella Essential Oil

About:

Citronella oil is steam distilled from the leafy parts of the citronella plant, also known as Cymbopogon nardus. Thanks to its fresh, welcoming aroma, Citronella essential oil is a common element in perfumes and cosmetic products and is well known for its use in outdoor candles, sprays, lotions, and other camping and outdoor essentials.
As a relative of Lemongrass, Citronella has a slight citrus scent that provides a pleasant and inviting experience whenever it’s used. Its versatility makes it a great household product to add to your beauty routine or to refresh indoor and outdoor spaces.

How to Use:

Topical: Dilute 1 drop with 1 drop of V-6 or olive oil or coconut oil and apply to desired area as needed.
Aromatic: Diffuse up to 30 minutes 3 times daily.

Essential Oil Uses:

Apply topically before and during outdoor activities.
Use Citronella’s bright scent to sweeten a custom fragrance or diffusion blend.
