With its delightful fruity fragrance and antibacterial properties, it is highly suitable for inclusion in hand-washes and soaps. Moreover, it serves as a natural insect repellent and can be utilised in the production of disinfectants and household cleaners. Its antioxidant properties also make it an excellent anti-aging agent.
