High-quality Citronella Oil for Aromatherapy, Cleaning Products, and Cosmetics

Citronella Oil is a natural essential oil extracted from the fresh or dried stems and leaves of Cymbopogon genus plants (mainly Citronella and Lemongrass) through steam distillation. It is widely used in spices, daily chemicals, insect repellents and other fields. It is a natural extract that is both practical and economical.

Citronella oil has a complex chemical composition. Its main active ingredients and characteristics are as follows:
Citral: It typically accounts for a high percentage and is the core component responsible for citronella oil's characteristic lemony aroma. It is also the primary contributor to its insect repellent and antibacterial properties.
Citral: Another key aroma component, it imparts a refreshing herbaceous note and possesses both antibacterial and sedative properties.
Other components: It also contains terpenes and alcohols such as geraniol, nerol, linalool, and limonene. These components contribute to citronella oil's rich aroma and enhance its functional properties.

• Daily Chemicals

  Insect Repellents: Used in mosquito repellent liquids, sprays, patches, sachets, and pet flea collars, primarily repelling mosquitoes, mites, and fleas. Suitable for home, outdoor, and pet care scenarios.

  Fragrances and Deodorizers: Used in perfumes, aromatherapy diffusers, air fresheners, laundry detergents, fabric softeners, and soaps, imparting a fresh lemon scent while masking odors and enhancing the user experience.

  Skin and Body Care: Added to shower gels, body lotions, massage oils, and shampoos, utilizing their antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties to relieve itchy and dry skin, and improve oily scalp odor. Suitable for refreshing, natural plant-based daily chemical products.

• Food and Other Industries

  Food Flavoring: Used in small quantities in candies, beverages, baked goods, and condiments, imparting a fresh lemon-herbal flavor, enhancing the sensory experience, and masking some of the raw material odors (such as bitterness or fishiness). Industrial and pet applications: Used in warehouse pest control agents (to repel grain pests and clothing moths) and pet care products (pet shampoo, insect repellent sprays). Natural, gentle, and non-irritating to pet skin, while ensuring the safety of the warehouse and pet environment.

1. Natural, safe, and environmentally friendly: As a plant-derived essential oil, its ingredients are naturally derived. Compared to chemically synthesized insect repellents and preservatives, it is less irritating to humans and easily degrades in the natural environment, minimizing its impact on the ecological environment. This aligns with the current consumer trend towards "natural and environmentally friendly" practices.

2. Outstanding Versatility

   Significant Insect Repellency: It has a strong repellent effect on a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, mites, and fleas, making it a core ingredient in natural insect repellent products and less likely to encourage the development of insecticide resistance.

   Antibacterial and Antifungal Ability: It has inhibitory effects on a variety of bacteria, including Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, as well as some fungi, making it suitable for natural antibacterial applications.

   Aromatic and Soothing Value: Its refreshing lemony herbal aroma can alleviate odors and, in aromatherapy, can help soothe mood and reduce fatigue.

3. Widely Available, Cost-Controlled: The adaptability of the genus Citronella and its widespread cultivation (primarily found in tropical and subtropical regions) are coupled with a stable raw material supply and a mature extraction process (steam distillation is a simple and easy-to-use method). This results in a relatively low production cost for citronella oil, offering a significant cost-effectiveness advantage.
