Rich in citronellal, geraniol, and citronellol, it\u2019s a time-tested, EPA-registered biopesticide that masks the scents insects love and disrupts their ability to find you. Enjoy effective protection against mosquitoes, flies, fleas, and some ticks for 1\u20133 hours \u2014 ideal for candles, sprays, lotions, and outdoor products as a cleaner, plant-based alternative to synthetic repellents.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Beyond bug defence, Citronella shines as a natural antimicrobial and deodoriser. Use it in room sprays, DIY cleaners, pet areas, and surface sprays to neutralise odours and freshen the air. Its uplifting scent supports mental clarity and an energising atmosphere in the diffuser (just 3\u20136 drops). Diluted properly, it may help balance oily skin and scalp, soothe minor irritations, and support everyday skincare and massage blends.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\">Blends beautifully with lemongrass, peppermint, eucalyptus, lavender, tea tree, and more.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"auto\"><strong>Always dilute before skin use<\/strong> (1\u20135% for repellents, lower for daily care), patch-test first, and store in dark glass. Pure, high-quality Citronella is versatile, affordable, and a staple for natural living \u2014 protecting, freshening, and uplifting your space the botanical way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Citronella Essential Oil \u2014 Your natural shield against insects, with a bright, lemony lift.
