Citronella Java is a natural essential oil derived from the leaves and stems of *Cymbopogon nardus* or *Cymbopogon winterianus*, widely used in insect repellents, aromatherapy, and fragrance formulations for its strong citrusy scent and mosquito-repelling properties. This plant-based oil contains active compounds like citronellal, geraniol, and limonene, making it a popular choice for eco-friendly pest control and cosmetic applications. It is classified under CAS 8000-29-1 and should be stored at ambient temperatures. The product carries a **Danger** signal word due to its flammability and potential skin/eye irritation. Molekula supplies Citronella Java from research to bulk quantities with full documentation and ISO 9001:2015 traceability.
