Citronella
Essential Oil
Citronella Java essential oil is a straightforward, hardworking oil with a clear purpose: it belongs outdoors.
Distilled from Cymbopogon winterianus, the Java variety is recognized as the more potent and aromatic of the two major citronella types, with a sharper citrus-green profile that performs reliably in warm-weather and outdoor applications.
It is a trusted staple in insect-deterrent sprays, outdoor candles, patio blends, and summer home care routines. It’s the kind of oil that earns its place through utility and consistency rather than complexity.
For makers building warm-weather product lines, it is a dependable and well-understood ingredient.
