Citronella Organic Essential Oil 10ml

Made with 100% natural and organic ingredients.

Uplifting and zesty, citronella oil is useful for summer evenings outdoors and blends well with orange, lime and peppermint. This cleansing organic oil has a beautiful citrusy scent and is steam distilled from the grass near Tororo, in eastern Uganda. We’ve worked with a young farmer, Joel, to set up the distillery for aromatic crops grown on local farms, creating valuable employment.
