Description
With its powerful lemon-like aroma, citronella is a familiar component in outdoor sprays. Astringent and cleansing, citronella is also useful for oily, blemished skin and large pores. It can be irritating, so be sure to dilute properly. Use citronella essential oil for a purifying and vitalizing sensation. This essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh, partially dried grass.

Suppliers of the Sandalwood essential oils in Australia:

After concerns were raised about the dwindling supplies of Indian sandalwood, Aura Cacia's sourcing expertise led them to a sustainable alternative - Australian sandalwood oil from sustainably harvested trees - the key to reversing the over-harvesting that threatens the continued availability of sandalwood. Australian sandalwood essential oil is not only great for aromatherapy, it's great for the future of sandalwood as well. Aura Cacia is leading the way to a sustained supply of this long-prized oil with a commitment to sell only sandalwood oil produced from sustainably harvested sources.
