Overview of Citronella Oil

Citronella Oil is a natural essential oil extracted primarily from the leaves and stems of Cymbopogon species, including Cymbopogon nardus and Cymbopogon winterianus. This oil appears as a pale yellow to amber-colored liquid with a fresh, lemon-like aroma known for its strong insect-repellent properties.

Widely used in cosmetics, perfumery, and as an environmentally friendly insect repellent, citronella oil is valued for its low toxicity, biodegradability, and broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
