Product Description
Citronella Java Essential Oil consists of tropical grass wild-harvested and steam-distilled for a historic product. The Java type is preferred for its high oil yield and cost-effectiveness compared to Cymbopogon Nardus from Sri Lanka. Its Lemon-like scent has made it a popular choice for various formulations due to its aromatics, blending potential, and longstanding use in tropical regions. Citronellal-rich Citronella Java is suitable for soap, detergent, skincare, and haircare products.
