Great quality citronella at a good price. I use it for mosquito repellants and works every time.

This was great as a bug repellent. I will continue to use it year after year.

Very strong! I am using this one for bug-repelling spray during the summer.

I use this EO with lavender EO, rosemary EO and a hint of patchouli to make a bug-repelling soap for the summertime. The citronella on its own in the bottle is strong enough to give me a headache, but in the blend in the soap it adds a sweet summery scent to the blend and definitely reminds me of campouts and summer BBQs. It's great to have a natural alternative to spray-on chemicals to deter bugs.

I used a combo of this citronella and camden grey cedar atlas and eucalyptus essential oils to make a wonderful camping bug repelling soap. I feel better using essential oils that are natural compared with chemicals like deet. Also works great for the dog!
Thinking about making a spray with the same combo.

Very strong, distict astringent-like aroma, anyone who has ever smelled it will know it instantly. Works best with other strong scents, otherwise it will simply overpower them. I like it with Peppermint or Sweet Orange, also works good in Pine Tar CP Soap.

I make a natural 'bug off' blend that I put on the kids with this and it works great! I also use it in summertime soap to help keep the skeeters at bay! It even helps when put on a cotton ball and rubbed on the front door frame and screen to discourage mosquitoes from coming in with the kids!

HOW PRODUCTS ARE DISPENSED...
BOTTLING/PACKAGING:
Essential oils: Are sold only in the quantities/net weights listed on our website. These oils are shipped to us by the distiller or manufacturer in industry-standard metal or plastic containers and that’s how we ship them to you.
Carrier oils and most other liquids are dispensed in individual HDPE plastic pails or containers with some type of handle, each container holds the purchased net weight of liquid.
Soft butters such as Horsetail and Almond are dispensed in plastic HDPE pails w/metal handles; those butters may remain inside the pails indefinitely when properly stored. Hard butters such as Cocoa are dispensed factory-wrapped in plastic and placed inside a box. Castile Gel is dispensed in a self-contained cubitainer with pouring spout.
NOTE: While the packaging methods mentioned above are generalized, we reserve the right to dispense and ship in any available container. If a customer at any time feels more comfortable transferring an essential or carrier oil to glass, this should be done.
Raw materials/ingredients are sold and dispensed by weight. Many customers ask how many ounces are in a pound, there are 16 ounces in one pound. These are not fluid ounces, they are ounces by weight.
HOW TO STORE: EOs, FOs and BUTTERS should be stored in tightly-sealed containers away from direct light and heat. Some EOs and FOs could be highly flammable, keep away from open flames and from varnished or wood surfaces.
