Certified 100% Pure Essential Oil
Why Purity Matters Essential Oils are sourced from all over the world, and not every source is created equal. Some producers add dilutants, fillers, other oils, or even chemicals to their oils before they ship them out. That is why 3rd-party testing is so important. If you don't see test results, it is possible the oil you are purchasing is not what you think it is.

Though all Wholesale Botanics oils are safe to use as directed, this 100% pure oil is the most natural version of Essential Oil possible, free of any additional substances.

Features & Benefits

Powerful yet gentle insect repellent.

Unique lemon-herbal aroma.

Great for sensitive skin.

The perennial grasses of the Cymbopogon plants native to Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and China were renowned for their effectiveness as a natural insecticide. In the early 1900s, Citronella was commonly used for camping and outdoor activities due to its insect-repelling properties.  Citronella Essential Oil is not only effective in repelling mosquitoes, but it also possesses a delightful citrus and fruity scent, perfect for use in perfumes, soaps, and incense. Moreover, one of its active components, geraniol, has antimicrobial properties that make it an excellent choice for use in natural cleaning products.

What Our Customers Think

"The difference between the essential oil I have been buying and this product is no comparison. This is the real deal! I will buy again." - Lori Neff 07/01/23
"Citronella oil is the 2nd order from WB. My 1st order was the Lavender oil. The Citronella aroma is like a lemonade. I hope that the Lavender aroma will mix well with this Citronella since the Lavender did not smell as sweet as I expected." - HONG PHUONG NGUYEN 11/01/22
"I used to just surrender to bugs and let them do their thing while I went camping because I just couldn't stand the smell of bug repellant, and especially in the tents, it was intoxicating. But citronella oil is a very good repellant and I love the scent. Two birds, or bugs, one stone." - Andrew 05/27/21
