Premium natural Rosemary & Cedarwood essential oils for insect control. Repels flies, mosquitoes, midges and sandflies. May also effectively repel march flies, ticks and ants.
Nature's Botanical creme comes in a jar for ease of application. Available in various quantities, it has a thicker consistency than its lotion counterpart, since it is made with an olive oil base, yet this does not make the creme less comfortable. It has a pleasant aromatic scent from the natural essential oils.
Upon the first application, you'll experience relief due to the anti-inflammatory properties of its all-natural active ingredients. It appears as white upon application but quickly becomes transparent and leaves no oily residue.
This makes it a perfect moisturiser, especially for those with dry skin to help prevent the skin from dehydration. In countries like Australia where the hot weather leaves the skin parched, this is absolutely soothing.
No DEET, Picaridin or other harsh synthetic chemicals.
Unlike DEET products it will NOT remove nail polish, damage/melt plastics, sunglasses, iPhone covers, fishing gear.
Rosemary & Cedarwood Essential Oils are regarded as safe for skin application by regulators such as the EPA and much safer/beneficial than chemicals such as DEET & Picaridin.
In addition to repelling they are well known as having antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and anti-fungal qualities, as well as being an eco-friendly insect repellent. Other uses/benefits of Nature's Botanical are:

Effectiveness
- Extensive field studies have shown the product can repel flies, midges/sandflies & mosquitoes for up to 4 hours when applied to lower limbs.
- Protection time & effectiveness varies between people like any product depending on: How much is applied, the area of protection (limbs are less attractive to flies than the face), skin chemistry and level of sweating & how aggressive the bugs are (difference between aggressive tropical mosquitoes & non-tropical mosquitoes. A few flies and hundreds of flies).
- The natural fly repellent product for flies should significantly reduce landings from a few to none at all. They may hover, some may land but they generally tap out quickly so that the person does not have to keep using their hands to chase the flies off.
- For biting insects ensure the product is applied to all exposed areas, applying it like you would a sunscreen (note it does not offer SPF protection). In this case you should find the natural repellent product is very effective in eliminating bites.
- Both the natural insect repellent lotion and the cream are as effective, but in some cases the cream may be better. It tends to get applied more thickly therefore lasting longer. It is also slightly water proof due to it being in an olive oil base, so many say it does not run into their eyes if they are perspiring a lot. When the sun is intense ensure you use a sunscreen before applying the cream.
- We feel that the product is an excellent alternative to the country's traditional repellents containing harsh chemicals. We genuinely hope to make a difference to your outdoor lifestyle in a more healthy and planet conscious way.
