Information

Citral is a naturally occurring organic compound known for its intense, lemony scent. It belongs to the terpene family and is frequently used in skincare and cosmetic products due to its aromatic properties. Citral is often a component of essential oils and is highly valued for its ability to impart a fresh citrus fragrance to formulations.

Where does it come from?

Citral is primarily extracted from the essential oils of citrus fruits such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), lemon myrtle (Backhousia citriodora), and lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora). It is also found in other citrus oils, including lemon and orange oil. Extraction is achieved through steam distillation or cold pressing of these plants. The resulting highly effective citral is used in various skincare and cosmetic products.
