Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus)

Citronella essential oil is steam-distilled from the leaves and stems of the Cymbopogon nardus plant, a type of grass native to tropical Asia. Known for its fresh, lemony scent, Citronella is widely used as a natural insect repellent and in cleaning products for its antibacterial properties.

Applications:

  • Insect repellent: Used in sprays, candles, and diffusers to naturally repel mosquitoes and other pests.
  • Aromatherapy: Diffused to create a fresh, uplifting atmosphere and reduce feelings of fatigue.
  • Natural cleaning: Added to homemade cleaning products for its antibacterial and deodorizing properties.
  • Pet care: Used in diluted sprays to repel fleas and ticks (always consult a vet before use).
  • Outdoor use: Incorporated into outdoor diffuser blends or sprays for camping and picnics to keep bugs at bay.
