Citronella Essential Oil

Citronella essential oil, derived from the leaves of the lemongrass plant, is renowned for its versatile benefits in both skin and hair care. Known for its powerful insect-repelling properties, citronella oil is often used topically on the skin to deter mosquitoes and other pests.

Beyond its insect-repelling capabilities, it possesses antifungal and antimicrobial qualities that contribute to a healthier scalp and skin. In hair care, citronella oil is believed to help control dandruff and promote a balanced, clean scalp environment, while its fresh, lemony scent adds a pleasant fragrance to hair products.

Diluting citronella essential oil with a carrier oil is recommended before application to the skin or hair to prevent irritation, ensuring a safe and effective incorporation into beauty routines.
