Citral

We are proud to announce that we already have the new ARAE terpene Citral in our online shop. As its name implies Citral will add a fresh lemon scent and a citrus flavor with a touch of sweetness that you are going to love.

The pure terpene Citral has plenty of medicinal benefits and no side effects. Which makes it a very special touch to add to your meals, drinks or even creams and lotions.

Like all Arae isolated terpenes, the extraction method used to obtain Citral lacks chemical agents or solvents that could alter the quality of the terpene or pose a health problem. This is why Arae uses the method known as steam extraction, which maintains the properties, naturalness and quality of the terpene intact.

This ARAE isolated terpene has more than 96% purity.
