Citronella oil is one of the most recognisable aromatherapy oils thanks to its fresh, slightly citrusy and grassy scent. This Bioherba product is a one hundred percent pure oil extracted through steam distillation, which preserves the natural character of the plant. It suits both an aroma lamp or diffuser and dilution in a carrier oil before any contact with the skin.

What it contains

At the heart of the product is citronella oil, an aromatic tropical grass whose oil has been valued for centuries for its intense, invigorating scent. Citronella is traditionally used as a natural repellent that helps keep mosquitoes and other insects away, while its fresh aroma creates a pleasant atmosphere in the room.

Composition

• 100% pure citronella oil, obtained through steam distillation

How to use

To scent a room, add a few drops to the water reservoir of an aroma lamp or diffuser. For external application on the skin, the oil should always be diluted in a carrier oil: about 1–1.5% for the face (roughly 3–4 drops per 10 ml of carrier oil) and about 2–3% for the body and hair. As a guide, 1 ml corresponds to about 30 drops.

Suitable for

For anyone looking for a pure essential oil for home aromatherapy or a natural way to keep mosquitoes and insects away during the warm months. It is also well suited for dilution in your own cosmetic blends and massage oils.

Important

• For external use only; do not take internally.
• Do not apply neat to the skin; dilute in a carrier oil before any skin contact.
• Should not be used by people with allergies or individual intolerance to the oil; on sensitive skin, patch test on a small area first.
• Avoid contact with the eyes and mucous membranes.
• Store in a cool, dry and dark place, out of reach of children.
