Properties/Benefits:

Citronella Java Oil captivating fragrance is due to its key components - geraniol, citronellal, citronellol, and geranyl acetate. Geraniol, with its delicate rose notes, adds a touch of floral elegance. Citronellal infuses the oil with a bright, lemony aroma. Citronellol, a natural terpene alcohol, contributes to the overall citrusy character and is commonly found in essential oils. Lastly Geranyl acetate, with its sweet, fruity essence, rounds out the scent profile and is often used in perfumes. Beyond their delightful fragrance, these components can offer multiple benefits for skin health such as toning and cleansing - they temporarily tighten pores and reduce oiliness, leaving skin feeling refreshed and balanced. Additionally, their natural properties help reduce the risk of infections and promote overall skin health.

Did you know?  The Citronella Java plant, scientifically known as Cymbopogon winterianus, is closely related to the Citronella Ceylon plant but has some distinct characteristics that set it apart. One unusual aspect of the Citronella Java plant is its higher geraniol and citronellal content compared to its Ceylon counterpart. These compounds are key constituents of its essential oil, which is prized for its potent aromatic properties and effectiveness as a natural insect repellent.

What makes the Java variety particularly interesting is that despite its strong aroma, it is considered more pleasant and less harsh than the oil from the Ceylon variety. This makes Citronella Java oil more desirable for use in perfumery, cosmetics, and flavouring industries, in addition to its traditional use as a mosquito repellent.

Another unusual feature is its adaptability and robustness, which allows it to thrive in a wider range of environmental conditions compared to other Citronella species. This resilience makes the Citronella Java plant an excellent choice for cultivation in diverse geographical regions, contributing to its widespread use and popularity in the production of essential oils on a commercial scale.
