      Description

Light, fresh lemon scent with geranium-like notes. Very soft and round. Citronella's properties are similar to Lemongrass, its scent however, is less appealing to many people. Commonly used in deodorizing and insect repelling products, and as a raw material for the perfume industry. Citronella works well in blends designed to keep insects at bay, for example, in combination with Cedarwood, Lavender, Patchouli or Eucalyptus. You can diffuse the blend outdoors or add some to a candle (extinguish the flame; add 2-3 drops to the wax pool; ignite again). You can also add a few drops to mopping water when mopping your home. Citronella blends well with a lot of different oils, "lifting" a blend to make it appear more energetic and lively. Lavender, Neroli, Ylang Ylang, Rose, Sandalwood, Frankincense, Geranium, Fennel, Tea Tree, resinous Essential Oils and many others.

No known toxicity, do patch test if adding to body care products. Avoid in pregnancy.

Please refer to Aromatherapy literature for medicinal and healing related information.

Our Essential Oils are 100% natural, undiluted, therapeutic grade oils. Essential Oils are highly volatile, meaning they readily evaporate, transforming from liquid to vapour. Keep your oils out of sunlight, but do not refrigerate. For more information, refer to Aromatherapy 101

When deciding on a lid, there are a few things to keep in mind. Droppers are great when working on recipes, because you can count the drops, but if you store the dropper in the vial, the oil will eventually deteriorate the rubber, ruining your precious oil. So, store separately, especially if you do not use the oil promptly. Wands are good for skin application. The reducers are good for thinner viscosity oils but not for heavy oils like frankincense. Tap the bottom of the bottle to deliver the oil. These are great for the diffuser.
