Citriodora/Lemon Eucalyptus Oil

About This Product

Ooty Originals Citriodora Oil is extracted from Eucalyptus citriodora trees of the Nilgiris — known for their unique lemon-citrus aroma and superior insect-repelling and hair-care properties compared to regular eucalyptus oil.

Key Benefits

• Prevents premature hair fall and thinning
• Treats dandruff effectively with regular scalp application
• Keeps scalp cool and refreshed — ideal for summer and hot climates
• Powerful natural insect repellent — more effective than regular eucalyptus
• Excellent floor wash additive for freshness and sanitation
• Uplifting lemon-citrus aroma in diffusers
• Antibacterial properties for wound care

How to Use / How to Apply

1. Hair care: Mix in coconut oil (ratio 1:10) and massage into scalp. Leave for 30 minutes; wash off.
2. Diffuser: Add 4–5 drops for aroma and insect-repelling effect.
3. Floor wash: Add 10–12 drops to a bucket of water before mopping.
4. Insect repellent: Dilute in coconut oil and apply to arms, legs, and neck.
5. Skin wound: Dilute 2 drops in 1 tsp aloe vera gel and apply to minor cuts.

How It Works

Citriodora oil contains p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD) as its key active compound — clinically recognized as an effective insect repellent and listed by the CDC as a safer alternative to DEET. It also contains citronellal and isopulegol, which nourish the scalp, reduce inflammation, and create an inhospitable environment for dandruff-causing fungi.
