Key Ingredients and Their Functions
- Water (Aqua): Gentle base providing light consistency with no drying effects.
- Eucalyptus Citriodora (Citriodiol®): Proven natural insect repellent that masks human scent and confuses mosquito receptors.
- Citronella andLemongrass Oils: Essential oils that disrupt insect navigation and reduce mosquito attraction.
- Glyceryl Caprylate andGlyceryl Undecylenate: Dual-action, natural preservatives that maintain formula integrity.
- Stearic Acid: Gives the lotion a rich, creamy texture while softening the skin.
- Xanthan Gum: Provides a smooth, spreadable consistency.
- Plant-Based Emulsifiers: Cetostearyl Alcohol and Ethoxylated Sorbitan Ester ensure consistent lotion blend and easy application.
How It Works
- Scents That Repel: Blocks insect attractants like carbon dioxide and lactic acid through volatile plant compounds.
- Sensor Disruption: Temporarily disables insect olfactory receptors, making it harder for them to locate you.
