With its powerful lemon-like aroma, citronella is a familiar
component of bug-repelling sprays. Astringent and cleansing citronella
is also useful for oily, blemished skin and large pores. It can be irritating,
so be sure to dilute properly.
Citronella - Cymbopogon nardus/Sri Lanka/Herb. There are two
types of citronella: the Java type and the Ceylon type. We offer the Ceylon
type. While the grass that produces the Java oil is grown in many parts of the
tropical world, the Ceylon type is cultivated in Sri Lanka. The oils produced
from the two types of grasses vary somewhat in composition, aroma and flavor.
The odor of Ceylon citronella is fresh, grassy and warm-woody.
It is preferred for scenting outdoor sprays, room sprays and household products.
Java oil has a sweeter, more floral aroma which is preferred in perfumery. Aromatherapy
benefits: purifying, vitalizing.
