Citronella  Cymbopogon Nardus

---

This light, fresh and uplifting oil, obtained from the grass, is a natural deodorizer, and is useful as an insect and cat repellent. As a deodorant, deodorizer, purifier, Citronella is great for cleaning bathrooms and garbage cans. With its powerful lemon-like aroma, citronella is a familiar component of bug-repelling sprays. A few drops on potpourri, in water, on candles or burners is very effective. Mixed with a vegetable carrier oil and rubbed into the skin, it will keep mosquitoes from biting. Astringent and cleansing citronella is also useful for oily, blemished skin and large pores.
