Aura Cacia / Citronella Java Essential Oil .5oz / #195832
What’s the difference between citronella java essential oil and Ceylon citronella essential oil?
Citronella java essential oil has a slightly sweeter aroma and comes from Indonesia — specifically Sumatra and the main island of Java. It is distilled from a grass that, when cut, keeps producing. The slightly less sweet Ceylon citronella comes from Sri Lanka.
product features
The key constituents of citronella essential oil are citronellal and geraniol.
Citronella combines well with many other essential oils including lavender, tea tree, lemongrass, sandalwood, lemon eucalyptus, geranium and vetiver.
It is relatively safe to use but can be slightly irritating, so diluting properly is highly recommended (see dilution guide below).
Citronella is generally considered a middle note oil.
