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.

How it’s made

Steam distilled

Steam gently draws the aromatic oil out of the plant material.

  2. DistilledSteam carries the volatile aromatic compounds upward.
  3. SeparatedThe vapour cools and the oil separates from the water.

What it means for you: Highly concentrated. Always dilute before use, and use the IFRA certificate to set the level for each product type.
