Chemical mosquito repellent is formulated to kill insects. But what are they doing to you? What is it that you're breathing in as you spray? Are they causing skin irritation? They are providing you protection, but at what cost. A natural insect repellent is a safer way to repel mosquitoes and almost all of the formulated natural mosquito repellent products in Australia are registered with the APVMA so you know they work.
A natural insect repellent does what the name suggests, it repels the insects. Using natural essential oils, these mosquito repellents simply make your aroma unappealing to the mozzies. It's effective DEET FREE protection for you and your family. If you have sensitive skin or you're using it around children, you don't even need to apply it to your skin, you can put it on clothing and be just as effective.
Citronella oil is traditionally known to annoy those pesky mozzies, and is commonly found in natural insect repellent blends, but not everyone likes the smell of citronella. Look for gentler essential oils like lemon eucalyptus, thyme oil, tea tree oil, even lavender essential oil is found in some formulas, especially the sensitive formula from Good Riddance.
Any products in this category that are not specifically called a repellent are just called balms or outdoor sprays. They are small brands that were not able to afford the testing and registration fees. They use similar active ingredients like lemon eucalyptus and other essential oils to make your smell undesirable to the mozzies so you don’t end up with mosquito bites.
