Citronella Hydrosol

Citronella Hydrosol

Citronella Hydrosol is the fresh, gentle aromatic water captured when Cymbopogon nardus (citronella grass) is steam-distilled – a light, crisp floral water carrying citronella's bright, citrusy, lemongrass-like scent with a soft herbaceous edge. Far gentler than citronella essential oil, it's mild enough to use neat, making it a lovely everyday facial and body mist.

As a hydrating facial mist and toner, it's misted onto clean skin to hydrate, cool, and refresh, leaving skin feeling clean, comfortable, and balanced – nice for oily and combination skin. Its fresh scent also makes it a gorgeous cooling body mist, aromatherapy spray, and natural linen and room spray that deodorises and brightens a space. For formulators, it's a natural aqueous phase for toners, mists, and clean home-fragrance products. It's preservative-free and perishable, so keep it refrigerated and preserve any finished product. A hydrosol for external cosmetic use – used neat, not for ingestion. Supplied 100 ML to 10 KG, from Raasa Oils.

Citronella Hydrosol Benefits

Oil-Balancing Toner

Citronella Hydrosol is a gentle, refreshing toner that helps balance the feel of excess oil and brings a fresh, revitalised feel to tired-looking skin. Suited to oily and combination skin, it's mild and non-irritating, so it can be misted directly onto clean skin. A lightweight, water-based botanical for fresh, oil-balancing toning steps, leaving skin feeling clean and comfortable.

Scalp Mist

Citronella Hydrosol makes a lovely natural hair and scalp refresher, helping hair feel clean and fresh with its bright, invigorating citrus scent and helping balance the feel of an oily scalp. Its light, refreshing aroma is a natural pick-me-up for hair exposed to pollution or humidity – a gentle, water-based mist for a fresh, clean, revitalised feel.

Citrus Body Mist

On a hot day, Citronella Hydrosol is a cool, refreshing body mist with a bright citrus scent. Spritzed onto skin, it hydrates, cools, and refreshes, leaving a clean, fresh feel and a light, natural fragrance that helps mask everyday odours – a gentle, alcohol-free alternative to synthetic body sprays, lovely for frequent misting through the day.

Uplifting Aroma

Citronella's bright, citrusy aroma is naturally fresh and uplifting. Used as a body, room, or aromatherapy mist, it helps a space feel clean, energising, and welcoming – a lovely scent for a home, spa, or work setting where a fresh, cheerful atmosphere is wanted. A natural, alcohol-free way to bring citronella's scent to daily rituals. (Adds scent and atmosphere.)
