Where does it come from?
Citronella oil is primarily sourced from tropical regions, particularly in Southeast Asia, where the Cymbopogon Winterianus plant thrives. Countries like Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and India are key producers of this essential oil. The oil is extracted through steam distillation, a process that preserves its potent active compounds, making it effective for various skincare applications.
Antimicrobial: Citronella oil has strong antimicrobial properties, making it effective in treating acne and preventing bacterial infections on the skin.
Astringent: It acts as a natural astringent, helping to tighten and tone the skin, reducing the appearance of pores.
Anti-inflammatory: The oil has anti-inflammatory effects that can soothe irritated skin, reducing redness and swelling.
Deodorizing: Citronella oil’s fresh scent helps neutralize body odor, making it a popular ingredient in natural deodorants.
