As per the declaration of conformity published in the brochure, the plant-based raw materials selected and processed for the production of this essential oil are of scrupulous and certified organic origin. This, in concrete terms, guarantees the provenance of the material from a farm management system that substantially limits the use of fertilizers and pesticides, in order to protect both the harvest and the environment, as well as promote sustainable agricultural development.
The information leaflet included with the packaging contains all the information regarding the natural preparation, including the analytical bulletin, declaration of conformity, botanical description, and the possibility of use as a " food flavoring," etc.

Extraction

Citronella essential oil is extracted by steam distillation of the fresh (or partially dried) herb; it is a yellowish liquid with a fresh and powerful citrus-lemon fragrance.

Affinity

Citronella essential oil harmonizes well with the essential oils of: Orange, Bergamot, Cedar, Geranium, Lemon and Pine.

Property

Thanks to their medicinal properties, citronella leaves are used by many populations to treat intestinal fevers and digestive disorders. Citronella
essential oil, non-toxic and non-irritating, is a proven remedy for oily skin. However, it should be used sparingly, as it can cause dermatitis in some individuals. Therefore, it is advisable to dissolve it beforehand in a vegetable oil (almond or sesame).
Its insect-repellent properties are certainly better known. Consider that, well before the invention of DDT, for generations, the most effective preventative remedy against mosquito attacks was an ointment prepared with citronella oil mixed with geranium essential oil and/or cedarwood essential oil: this beneficial action can be optimally exploited using a diffuser.

Uses

Citronella essential oil is used not only in the formulation of various insect repellents against moths, ants, fleas, etc., but also in industrial perfumery: it is from this, in fact, that both geraniol and natural citronellal are isolated.

Botany

Native to the island of Ceylon (where it is now cultivated in the southern region), lemongrass is a robust, rhizomatous herbaceous plant up to two meters tall, with a tufted habit and ribbon-like, bluish-green leaves. It is grown in tropical areas throughout the world.
The entire plant exudes a seductive citrus scent.
