Citronella essential oil is a yellow liquid with a strong, distinctive bitter scent, accompanied by an intense lemon aroma.
Known primarily for its insect-repellent properties, citronella is also an excellent antiseptic and antibacterial agent.
Additionally, it helps regulate oily skin and reduces foot perspiration.
Safe Use Guidelines
Please note that our essential oils are not for internal use, except for oregano oil and Chios mastic oil. Our essential oils are 100% pure and highly concentrated, so they should never be applied directly to the skin. Always dilute them in a carrier oil before use. Keep them stored in a safe place, away from children.
For safety, we recommend performing an allergy test before using any essential oil. Apply a drop of a 1% diluted mixture (essential oil in a carrier oil) to your forearm and wait for 4-5 hours to check for any reaction.
Avoid contact with the eyes, as they are highly sensitive. Do not apply essential oils near or around the eye area, even when diluted.
If using a citrus essential oil, avoid sun exposure for at least 6 hours, as these oils are photosensitive and may cause skin irritation.
If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before use.
