Description  

Citronella has been used throughout the world as an insect repellent before synthetic repellents were introduced. It is still widely used as a natural non-toxic alternative, with the added advantage of its fresh scent and refreshing properties.

Nature/Essence – Refreshing & Protective

Citronella has antiseptic properties and is also used for oily skin.


Citronella is a key ingredient in natural insect repellent sprays or applications for the body.
It is also a good oil to include in natural deodorant or foot sprays, helping with excessive perspiration and odour, and refreshing the feet or body. Citronella can be useful as an inhalation during colds or illness.

The fresh scent of Citronella has an uplifting effect when you’re at a low ebb mentally and emotionally.

Add Citronella to candles, room sprays or a diffuser for natural non-toxic insect repellent activity in the home and to refresh and purify the air.

Smells amazing

So much better than the cheap candle scent in the store. Burns in candles well, the scent throw was just as good as fragrance oil in my opinion.
