🌼 Product Description
Citronella Oil (Java Type) is a high-grade essential oil distilled from the leaves of Cymbopogon winterianus, a variety known for its superior aroma and high citronellal and geraniol content. With its sharp, fresh, lemony scent, this oil is widely used in perfumery, personal care products, and natural insect repellents.
Unlike the Ceylon type, Java Citronella Oil contains a higher concentration of citronellal and geraniol, making it more desirable for fragrance, soap making, and aromatherapy applications. It also boasts strong antifungal, antibacterial, and mosquito-repelling properties.
