Overview

About Citronellol in South Africa

Citronellol is a monoterpene alcohol found in citronella and geranium oils, offering a fresh, floral, rose-like character with a subtle citrus-mint lift. It is widely used alongside geraniol to soften and round floral accords, and contributes the clean rosy freshness expected in personal-care fragrance.

Zentish Exim supplies citronellol from qualified Indian producers, minimum 95% assay by GC, with complete batch documentation.

South Africa is the gateway to SADC, with NRCS oversight on regulated chemical imports and SA-GHS aligned to UN-GHS. Durban, Cape Town and Port Elizabeth are the primary ports; ocean freight runs 18-25 days.
