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 natural insect repellent lotion is made with a vegetable based emulsifier, making it substantially thinner than the creme. Because of its less viscous consistency, it makes for a perfect roll-on application or a spray solution. Like the creme, it also gives off a pleasing aroma, thanks to the Rosemary and Cedarwood essential oils.
Easy to use (great for kids to use, although you will need to check they have covered all exposed skin for biting insects). Handy size to carry around in hand luggage on a flight, backpack, glove box, hand bag, sports bags, back pocket, and more. Popular with fisherman as their hands do not have to touch it therefore not interfering with baiting their hooks.
This handy roll-on option is great for kids because of its very easy application process. As long as you make sure that all exposed skin areas that might be susceptible to insect bites are covered, your kids are good to go! It comes in a small size that is easy to carry around, however it cannot be refilled as the spray lotion and creme can be.

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.
