Organic Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
ArOmisOur organic lemon eucalyptus oil is derived from the leaves of the spotted gum tree (Corymbia citriodora) which primarily grows in northern Australia. The most prominent component in this is citronella, which most people are familiar with as a natural component in candles produced to ward off insects.
Lemon eucalyptus oil can contain up to 98% citronella, and as such can be extremely effective as an insect repellant. The light, sweet scent of lemon eucalyptus is great to use in a diffuser through the summer months for this purpose and will promote a relaxing, uplifting atmosphere.

I really do like this product. Purchased as repellent for insects - mosquito and chiggers and it did seem to have an impact though I used so many products out of desperation that I'm not sure which one was the most effective.

Arrived on time and packaged well with protective wrap and such. We chose this specific brand due to multiple recommendations from those who craft and test mosquito repellent recipes.

This oil is REALLY great. We use it to make organic mosquito repellent. Like most oil you don't use it pure, you have to mix it with something.

Every time I visit my family in the Carribean, I literally suffer from mosquito's attacks. I have tried all types of mosquito repellents. They work for a little while, but eventually, insects got to use it. So this holiday season,

Nice scent. I like the dropper that comes with it for making my diy mosquito repellant...easier to use than the built in dropper top on other essential oils. Works as a mosquito repellant when mixed with other oils.

Mixed with a carrier oil, this essential oil is absolute magic at keeping away biting and stinging insects, ticks and chiggers without toxic chemicals like deet.

This stuff is awesome. I mixed it with coconut oil, because that is what I had on hand just before going out on the boat for the weekend. Not one bite while hiking around on the island! Smells good also.
