Oh, the best time of year when we are surrounded by flowers and sunshine and summer! Now is the perfect time to get outdoors, enjoy the weather and focus on that vitamin D!
Citronella oil is steam distilled from the leafy parts of the citronella plant, also known as Cymbopogon nardus. Thanks to its fresh, welcoming scent and bug-repelling properties like those found in our Insect Repellent, Citronella essential oil is a common element in perfumes and cosmetic products and is well known for its use in outdoor candles, sprays, lotions, and other camping and outdoor essentials.
