Citronella Essential Oil 10ml
Botanical name Cymbopogon winterianus jowitt
Origin: Indonesia.
Guards against insects, inflammation & anxiety.
Citronella is best known as an outdoor essential oil diffused to keep insects away (or applied topically as an alternative to chemical insect repellants) and it is very effective for that use. We recommend blending citronella with lemongrass, lavender & rosemary in an insect repelling blend and applying in a 50/50 blend with a light and easily absorbed oil (Jojoba oil is great for this).
Citronella does also have many other useful properties as follows:
- Anti-inflammatory – used in skincare for this reason
- Antibacterial for minor infections
- Antiperspirant in natural deodorants
- Conditioning treatment for hair (especially good for oily hair together with rosemary essential oil)
- Combating mild anxiety and high stress levels
- Guarding against cold & flu with eucalyptus & tea tree
Citronella comes from the same plant as lemongrass essential oil and is steam distilled from the leaves.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
We recycle wherever possible, we pulp and recycle incoming cartons into wildflower seed paper, which we gift to our customers, along with a compostable Peat Pot - so you can plant our packaging and enjoy pretty wildflowers. We encourage you to do that outdoors to help bees find more flowers and deliver a positive, productive use of packaging waste. We call this the Baliba #FlowerPotProject
When we ship via DHL, we opted to make a contribution to carbon credits with each parcel sent in the Go Green programme, because we believe every effort counts.

All our diffusers use 100% non toxic parts and many are made of natural substances (metal, glass, ceramic). Those parts that are plastic are non toxic ABS plastic, that is easily recycled. ABS is used in toys, including LEGO blocks. Diffuser water chambers are made of polypropylene.

Ultrasonic Diffuser Technology
Ultrasonic essential oil diffusers use a specially designed technology designed to split water into microparticles – combining the oil and distributing it into the surrounding area on a cool mist. Because the water does not at any time become warm, the integrity of the essential oil or aroma oil is held, and the diffuser is completely safe around young children and animals.
Mist distributes fragrance into surrounding spaces, but – more than that, negative ions in the mist neutralise mould spore and some odours, leaving a fresh smelling and feeling room before the Aroma Oil is released.
When using essential oils, we recommend 5 – 8 drops per water chamber.
When using Aroma Oils, we recommend using one drop only.
Diffuse on intervals as required for best results.

When you purchase even one essential oil from us, you gain access to our library of essential oil properties, blend guides & relaxation practices – it’s a whole world of well-being we invite you to enjoy & become part of. This is just the first step to your new lifestyle.
