Citronella, eucalyptus radiata, and lemongrass oils, Peppermint and cedarwood , Tea tree and frankincense oils, Olive oils. Mosquito Repellent Blend is a natural formulated, broad-spectrum insect repellent that protects against mosquito bites, reduces skin irritation, and prevents insect-borne infections. This blend offers effective and safe mosquito protection for outdoor environments by integrating natural bioactive compounds with proven insect-repellent properties.

Ingredients

  1. Insect Olfactory Disruption and Behavioural Repellences

    • Citronella, eucalyptus radiata, and lemongrass oils contain monoterpenes and aldehydes (citronellal, geraniol, citronellol, and eucalyptol) that interfere with mosquito olfactory receptors (ORNs), disrupting their ability to detect human skin odours.

    • Peppermint and cedarwood oils emit volatile organic compounds that inhibit the attraction of mosquitoes to carbon dioxide and lactic acid exhalation.

  2. Neurotoxic Effects on Mosquitoes

    • Tea tree and frankincense oils contain terpinen-4-ol and boswellic acids, which act as mild neurotoxic agents to insects, reducing their ability to locate and land on skin.

    • Lemongrass oil (citral) and peppermint oil (menthol) disrupt the central nervous system (CNS) of mosquitoes, inhibiting their movement and feeding behaviour.

  3. Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Pruritic Effects

    • Lavender and frankincense oils contain linalool and boswellic acids, which inhibit the release of histamine and pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-1β), reducing itching, redness, and swelling from insect bites.

    • Tea tree and eucalyptus radiata oils possess antiseptic and wound-healing properties, preventing infection from excessive scratching.

  4. Skin Barrier Protection and Hydration

    • Olive oil (rich in squalene and polyphenols) enhances skin barrier integrity, preventing dehydration and maintaining dermal health.

    • Lavender and cedarwood oils promote wound healing and skin repair, reducing irritation from insect exposure.
