Organic Cloves
Organic Citronella Oil is a fresh, citrusy, and highly aromatic essential oil extracted from organically cultivated Cymbopogon species (primarily Cymbopogon winterianus or Cymbopogon nardus). Using certified organic farming practices, the grass is grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, ensuring a pure and environmentally friendly product.
The oil is obtained through steam distillation of the fresh or partially dried leaves. This gentle extraction method preserves its rich concentration of active constituents such as citronellal, geraniol, and citronellol. Organic Citronella Oil is widely used in natural insect repellents, aromatherapy blends, home-care formulations, pet-safe sprays, perfumery, and skincare products.
