FAQs

How should I store the Citronella Essential Oil?

Store in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep the cap tightly sealed to preserve the oil's quality.

Can I apply Citronella Essential Oil directly to my skin?

No, always dilute the oil with a carrier oil before applying it to your skin. A common dilution ratio is 1-2% essential oil to carrier oil.

Is this oil safe for children?

Avoid use in children under 3 years old.

What are the main uses of Citronella Essential Oil?

It is primarily used as a natural insect repellent. It can also be used in vaporizers to create a refreshing aroma.

What is the extraction method of this oil?

It is steam distilled from the leaves and stems of the *Cymbopogon nardus* plant.

What if the scent is too strong?

Use a smaller amount, or diffuse it in a larger space. Diluting it with a carrier oil for topical use can also help.

Troubleshooting

Oil is not dispensing from the bottle.

Check the dropper for any blockages. Ensure the cap is properly sealed to maintain the vacuum within the bottle. If the dropper is faulty, consider using a different method to dispense the oil.

Scent seems weak or has changed.

Ensure the oil is stored properly (cool, dark place). Over time, essential oils can lose potency. Check the expiration date.

Skin irritation after topical use.

Discontinue use immediately. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Consider using a lower dilution or a different carrier oil. If the irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
