Botanical Insect Repellent, Outdoor Extra Strong Formula

DEET is added to many mosquito repellent products on the market. Although this chemical has long been known to be the most effective mosquito repellent available, it's also highly irritative. High doses of (DEET) are known to cause swelling and pain around the eye, headaches, tracheal stenosis, etc., to adults and children, a slew of issues even before you are bitten by the mosquitoes! If you pay attention to the ingredient labels of mosquito repellents available on the market, more than 1/4 of them contain at least one chemical ingredient!

• Organic Azadirachta indica (Neem) Oil: high repellent efficacy against Anopheles, Culex and Aedes species, acts as carrrier that can help extend the duration of repellent effects by slowing the evaporation of active ingredients from surfaces
• Organic Eucalyptus citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus) Oil: a natural alternative to DEET, active repellent compound: para-menthane 3, 8 diol (PMD) is the only plant-based repellent that has been recommened by the USA Centres for Disease Control (CDC)
  
• Other Proprietary Botanical Ingredients 

Azadirachta indica (Neem)

The pesticidal efficacy, environmental safety and public acceptability of neem have led to its adoption into various mosquito control programmes. It is unable to develop resistance in insects too. The maximum reduction rates of Anopheles, Culex and Aedes (common mosquito species in Hong Kong) are 100%, 95.5% and 100% respectively. — Filed study in Guinea Bissau, 1999, 72:39-52
