Both the Insect Repellent Spray and Stick are 100% Natural, which means that every ingredient is naturally derived. There are no added chemicals and this makes the product perfectly suited to those with sensitive skin, including children and babies. The Pure Beginnings 100% Natural Insect Repellent Spray is infused with a number of highly effective insect repelling essential oils. These include Neem, Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus and Lemon Bush.
- Neem (Azadirachta Indica Seed Oil) is a key ingredient in providing a natural alternative to synthetic pesticides in agriculture. It is also effectively used in creams and balms to deter insects.
- Citronella oil (Cymbopogon Nardus Oil) is a plant-based insect repellent. In use since 1948, the United States Environmental Protection Agency considers oil of citronella as a biopesticide with a non-toxic mode of action.
- Lemon Eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil) is used in insect repellents to provide hours of relief from biting insects.
- Lippia oil (Lippia Javanica) is probably Africa’s most under-rated fragrant medicinal plant. It is widely credited as being an antiseptic and is believed to be useful as a gargle for sore throats and abscesses. The essential oil is high in ipsdienone, which is shown to repel insect pests.
This combination of natural insect deterrents ensures biting insects are repelled, while your health & wellbeing are cared for too.
