Papua Endemic
Zodia Oil (Papua Insect Repellent)
Minyak Zodia — Evodia suaveolens

The essential oil combines high linalool and limonene content for effective insect deterrence with a pleasant fresh-citrus aroma — uniquely combining efficacy and sensory appeal for the natural personal care market.
Origin:Papua (endemic to Indonesian New Guinea)
Aroma:Fresh, citrusy, slightly herbal with a clean, penetrating character. The linalool and limonene combination gives a pleasant fresh-citrus-floral profile that masks its potent insect-repellent activity.
