Cymbopogon Winterianus Herb Oil (Citronella Oil)

Cymbopogon Winterianus Herb Oil is an aromatic essential oil—typically obtained by steam distillation—from the aerial parts of Cymbopogon winterianus (citronella grass). In cosmetic formulations, it is used mainly as a perfuming ingredient, delivering a crisp, lemony-green scent that boosts product freshness and sensorial appeal, and it is also valued in botanical blends for its deodorizing and skin-purifying support. It is commonly incorporated at low concentrations in body washes, soaps, deodorants, foot care, scalp products, and outdoor-inspired body care where a clean, invigorating profile is desired. As with many essential oils, it contains naturally occurring fragrance allergens (e.g., citronellal, geraniol, limonene), so it is typically formulated in accordance with applicable IFRA guidance to help minimize the risk of irritation or sensitization, particularly in leave-on products.
