When sourcing Citronella Oil, it's important for procurement professionals and product formulators to understand the distinctions between the two main types available: Java and Ceylon. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we specialize in providing high-quality Citronella Oil, and educating our clients on these differences helps them make informed purchasing decisions. The choice between Java and Ceylon Citronella Oil often hinges on the specific application and desired chemical profile.

Citronella Oil is generally classified into two chemotypes based on the species of Cymbopogon grass from which it is derived. The 'Java' type, typically from *Cymbopogon winterianus*, is characterized by a higher concentration of key aromatic compounds such as citronellal (32-45%) and geraniol (21-24%). This higher content of these specific components makes Java Citronella Oil more desirable for perfumery and aromatherapy applications where a richer, more complex scent is required. It is also often considered more potent for insect-repellent formulations due to these higher constituent levels. If you are looking to buy Citronella Oil for demanding fragrance applications or potent natural insect repellents, the Java type is often the preferred choice.

The 'Ceylon' type, derived from *Cymbopogon nardus*, generally contains lower amounts of citronellal (5-15%) and geraniol (18-20%). While still possessing the characteristic Citronella aroma, it is considered less aromatic and potent for fragrance applications compared to the Java type. However, it remains effective for general repellent uses and can be a more cost-effective option for certain applications. Sourcing Ceylon Citronella Oil might be suitable for products where a less intense aroma is desired or where cost is a primary driver.
