Refresh your surroundings and protect naturally with our Citronella Java Essential Oil, steam-distilled from the freshly harvested leaves of Cymbopogon winterianus grown in Indonesia. Known for its vibrant, lemony aroma with subtle grassy undertones, this essential oil is a popular and effective solution for natural insect control and environmental purification.

Rich in active compounds like citronellal, geraniol, and citronellol, Citronella Java oil is best known for its ability to repel mosquitoes and insects, making it a staple in outdoor sprays, candles, and diffusers. Its refreshing scent not only uplifts the mood but also works as a powerful deodorizer, helping to eliminate unpleasant odors and purify indoor air naturally.

Beyond its use as an insect repellent, Citronella oil also offers antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it suitable for use in homemade cleaning products and skin-safe formulations (when properly diluted). It can be added to massage blends to help relieve tension and sore muscles, especially when combined with oils like eucalyptus or peppermint.

Sustainably sourced and 100% pure, Lyfe Herb’s Citronella Java Essential Oil contains no synthetic additives, solvents, or fillers. Whether used in diffusers, sprays, candles, or topical applications, it’s a safe, eco-conscious way to enhance your wellness routine while protecting your space naturally.
