Citronella Oil

Product Description

Citronella Oil is extracted through steam distillation from the fresh or partly dried leaves of the Cymbopogon species (commonly Cymbopogon winterianus and Cymbopogon nardus). Known for its fresh, lemony, and uplifting aroma, Citronella Oil is a natural insect repellent widely used in mosquito-repellent formulations, candles, sprays, and diffusers.

Beyond its insect-repelling properties, it is valued in aromatherapy, cosmetics, perfumery, and household cleaning products due to its antifungal, antibacterial, and deodorizing qualities.

At Hari Kripa Worldwide Traders (HKWTINDIA), we provide 100% pure and natural Citronella Essential Oil, carefully sourced and processed to meet international quality standards, ensuring consistency for both industrial and retail applications.
