Frequently Asked Questions

Is Citronella Essential Oil – 10ml safe for everyone?

Usage should be avoided during pregnancy and is not suitable for children under the age of three. It is intended for external use only and should never be consumed internally.

Can I apply this oil directly to my skin?

No, essential oils are highly concentrated plant essences. You should always dilute Citronella Essential Oil – 10ml with a suitable carrier oil, such as sweet almond or grapeseed oil, before applying it to the skin to avoid irritation.
