Product Overview

Citronella Oil is a highly aromatic essential oil obtained from the leaves of Cymbopogon nardus or Cymbopogon winterianus. Known for its fresh, lemony, grassy fragrance, it is globally popular due to its natural insect-repellent properties, making it a key ingredient in household care, personal care, aromatherapy, and industrial formulations.
