Citronella Organic Essential Oil 10ml

Citronella Organic Essential Oil — 10ml

This certified organic citronella essential oil is steam-distilled from the dried grass of Cymbopogon nardus cultivated without synthetic pesticides in Java — a particularly meaningful distinction for an oil so widely used as a natural insect repellent, where chemical-free cultivation directly supports its role as a clean, non-toxic alternative to synthetic deterrents. Used by ancient cultures across India, Egypt, and Southeast Asia to protect against mosquitoes and the diseases they carried, citronella has been registered as a bio-pesticide in the USA since 1948. Organic certification ensures the purest possible expression of this protective aromatic.
