What does Citronella Essential Oil smell like, and what is it made from?

It has a fresh, lemony, grassy aroma that feels bright and clean. It’s steam-distilled from the leaves of Cymbopogon winterianus (citronella grass).

How do I use it safely on skin and in a diffuser?

Always dilute for skin—0.5–2% for body oils (3–12 drops per 30 ml carrier). For diffusers, start with 3–5 drops per 100 ml water and adjust to preference. External use only; patch test first and avoid eyes and mucous membranes.

Does citronella really help repel insects?

The scent can help deter mosquitoes and other insects, especially in enclosed or close-range settings. For stronger or longer-lasting outdoor protection, pair with other measures or products formulated specifically as insect repellents.

Is it safe for candles, sprays, and cleaning blends?

Yes. It performs well in DIY room/linen sprays (10–30 drops per 500 ml water/vinegar base—shake before use), and in candles/soaps per your base supplier’s EO limits. Test small batches to fine-tune scent throw.

Any precautions, storage tips, or good blending partners?

Not phototoxic. Use extra care during pregnancy and on sensitive skin; avoid use on infants. Diffuse around pets with ventilation and let them leave the room if desired. Store tightly capped in a cool, dark place; aim to use within 2–3 years. It blends beautifully with lemongrass, eucalyptus, lemon, lavender, and cedarwood.
