Roots Essential oil - Citronella, 10 ml

This oil comes from the Cymbopogon plant family, also known as lemongrass. Its natural chemistry includes citronellal and geraniol, the compounds behind its crisp, citrusy scent. Citronella has been a familiar note in candles, diffusers and outdoor blends for generations, thanks to that fresh aroma.

A Familiar Citrus Note

Citronella has a long history as a favorite in candles and outdoor blends. Its crisp, lemony profile pairs naturally with other fresh botanicals. Keep a bottle on hand for diffusing, blending or adding to your own DIY projects.

How to Use It

Add a few drops to a diffuser or oil burner for everyday aromatherapy. For skin use, mix three drops into 10 ml of a carrier oil, like our Jojoba. Apply the diluted blend to a small area of skin, never directly from the bottle. Wash your hands thoroughly once you're done.

Safety Notes

Always dilute this oil in a carrier oil before it touches your skin. Do a patch test first, and stop if you notice any irritation. Keep the bottle out of reach of children, and avoid contact with eyes. If you're pregnant, nursing, or managing a health condition, check with a doctor before use.

Pairs Beautifully With

Citronella's citrus notes layer well with other fresh, outdoor-inspired scents. Try blending it with our Eucalyptus for an extra-crisp aroma. Or dilute it in Jojoba for gentle, everyday skin use.

Citronella oil has a long history in fragrance and candle-making, as detailed on Wikipedia. It has been part of everyday aromatic routines for well over a century. Every nose, and every patch of skin, reacts a little differently, so introduce new blends slowly.
