Citronella Oil is extracted from Cymbopogon nardus (also known as Andropogon nardus) and is of the Graminae (Poaceae)
family. Citronella Oil is extracted from a hardy grass, native to Sri Lanka and Java. This aromatic perennial grows about 1meter (3
feet) high and is a popular ingredient in wax candles, as an insect repellant, and is also widely used in perfumes, soaps, skin
lotions and deodorants. Citronella Oil is extracted by the steam distillation of finely chopped fresh, dried or part-dried grass.
