Graziani Citronella Terracotta Candle Set

One of the essential oils obtained from the leaves and stems of different species of Cymbopogon. Citronella oil is also a plant-based insect repellent and has been registered for this use in the United States since 1948. Can be used as a biopesticide with non-toxic mode of action.

Comes in a set of 2, an outdoor terracotta lemongrass candle and an aluminium refill. Contains essential oil of Java Lemongrass.

Obtained from: Cymbopogon winterianus Jowitt (Java type), that consists of citronellal (32-45%), geraniol (11-13%), geranyl acetate (3-8%), limonene (1-4%).
Candles are a great carrier for citronella oil. In fact, citronella oil is diffused via the bowl of melting wax, whose temperature never reaches the point that would make the active principles deteriorate and lose their properties.

Citronella oil from Cymbopogon species should not be confused with other similar lemony oils from Corymbia citriodora and Pelargonium citrosum.
