Embrace the Natural Benefits of Citronella Essential Oil
Size: 10ml | 100% Pure | Steam Distilled
Sharp, citrusy, and refreshing, Citronella Essential Oil (Cymbopogon winterianus) has been trusted for centuries as a natural mosquito repellent and pest deterrent. Long before synthetic repellents were created, citronella oil was used in scented candles, room sprays, garden torches, and outdoor use to keep bugs at bay during warm summer days.
Our pure essential oil is sourced from Indonesia and Sri Lanka, carefully extracted from fresh leaves using traditional steam distillation methods. Whether you need a natural insect repellent, a refreshing air purifier, or a versatile addition to household cleaning products, citronella oil is a must-have for both indoor and outdoor living in New Zealand.
