Product Description

This organic essential oil, derived from Citronella Java, is wild harvested and steam distilled. Its Java variant yields more oil at a lower cost than the Sri Lanka (Cymbopogon Nardus) type, possessing a delightful lemon-like scent. The oil has been used for centuries in tropical regions; its citronellal content makes it suitable for use in soaps, detergents, skin care, and hair care products.

Frequently asked questions

How does the organic grade differ from standard Citronella Java oil?

The organic grade is the same species, Cymbopogon winterianus, steam distilled from organically grown grass of Chinese and Indonesian origin. Scent and uses match the standard grade; choose it when your formula or brand claims call for organic ingredients.

What does organic Citronella Java oil smell like?

Fresh, lemony and grassy with a sweet, slightly woody-floral back note. It blends well with lemongrass, lemon, cedarwood and geranium in candles, room sprays and soaps.

Which safety documents come with it?

An SDS, IFRA certificate and EU allergen declaration are available. Use the IFRA certificate to set the maximum level for each product category, and the allergen declaration for your label.

What pack sizes are available?

From 100ml up to a 5kg pack, all priced online.
