Natural Insect Repellents
Natural insect repellents are derived from plant-based ingredients and essential oils, offering a safer and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic repellents. Commonly used oils include citronella, eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender, and tea tree oil, each known for their insect-repelling properties. These repellents are generally less irritating to the skin and have a pleasant, natural fragrance. While they may require more frequent application compared to synthetic options, they provide effective protection for shorter durations and are ideal for use in areas with lower insect activity. Natural insect repellents are a popular choice for those seeking chemical-free protection, especially for children and individuals with sensitive skin.
