Product Information

Jeremy Quin, a junior defence minister, said the research found that sprays containing Citriodiol “can kill the virus”. Diisopropyl Adipate — This is the ester formed by combining isopropyl alcohol and adipic acid. Adipic acid is found in beet juice. It acts as a lubricant on the skin's surface and give it a soft and smooth appearance. Have you ever thought about buying a naturally and sustainably sourced insect repellent butchanged your mind because you thought it might not work?Were you concerned that naturally derived products may not be tested as thoroughly asmore established, synthetic repellents?When it comes to Mosi-guard® Lemon Eucalyptus insect repellents you can put these concerns to rest. It’s only the females that bite as they need lots of protein to form their clutches of eggs, but while they mostly feed on cattle and wild animals they’re also quite happy to chow down on any passing human that comes within range whether young, old, male or female. I have to start this review by saying I’ve used Mosi-Guard natural repellent before and while it works, in my opinion, it’s not quite as good as Smidge or any product that uses DEET. Still, if you want to give midges the elbow this is one of the best products to buy and the fact it doesn’t use DEET or indeed any nasty chemicals is a massive bonus.

First and foremost, this stuff smells great and it blows all other midge repellents out of the water when it comes to making your skin feel soft (the clue’s in the name I guess) plus it dries into your skin without leaving it feeling oily, and it doesn’t leave any marks on your clothes as opposed to DEET which can bleach clothes and plastics. If you are looking for a DEET-free bug spray that offers the reliable protection of synthetic insect repellent without the chemicals, Mosi-guard Lemon Eucalyptus Extra Spray is our top choice of natural bug repellent. Mosi-guard is made from a natural active ingredient that has been tested and approved by international regulators for effectiveness. Its long-lasting formula is kind to your skin and is rapidly biodegradable for planet-friendly insect repellent. Smidge comes out of the can as a lotion rather than a spray and it doesn’t feel at all oily on your skin, and I love the fact it smells quite nice too.The recommended product to achieve that goal is Smidge which uses a proven formulation that deters midges while also being safe to use, non-greasy, well-priced, and comes in a tough, easy-to-use container. Safari South Africa: Lion Land, Tuskers, and the Power of Connection in Central Kruger National Park Citriodiol® — The active ingredient comes from a botanical oil found in the leaves of the eucalyptus citriodora tree. This is responsible for the repellency of Mosi-guard Natural® products. The main component in Citriodiol® is p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), making up at least 64% of the oil. Citriodiol sprays were made available to the army in the early phases of the Covid-19 crisis because they were known to kill other strains of coronavirus such as Sars. Butylene glycol — This solvent stops the active ingredient, Citriodiol®, from crystallising. It also helps to keep the skin moist and prevents bacteria growth.

Leaves and branches are harvested by hand from the trees. The branches are then cut selectively from each tree so that the trees can continue to grow and produce new leaves for many years. Once the branches have been harvested, the twigs containing leaves are cut from the branches. The leaves and small twigs are steam distilled to produce Eucalyptus Citriodora Oil. My other half swears by it so I thought I’d give it a go last year and… it actually works. No matter if I sat outside in the evening or walked through the Highlands in the early morning, midges seemed to avoid me whenever I used Avon Skin So Soft. Scotland’s infamous midges can bring misery to your holiday, especially if you’re not suitably prepared for them. There are an estimated 181 trillion midges in Scotland and for every square metre of ground in the Highlands there could be 250,000 eggs waiting to hatch and go on the hunt for their next meal of tasty human blood.

The defence secretary, Ben Wallace, said they were issued on the basis that they would do no harm and could form an additional layer of protection. It is not known how many soldiers have used the spray. Citriodiol is derived from the oil of Eucalyptus citriodora, or lemon eucalyptus, and is marketed as an alternative to Deet. Mosi-guard is supplied by a small Leeds-based company, Citrefine.

Midge bites are very unpleasant and they have been known to bring grown men to tears, mainly because the resulting swelling is maddeningly itchy and can last for several days. Sodium Lactate Aqua — A natural salt formed from fermentation of lactic acid and dissolved in water. It improves the stability of the product by creating an undesirable environment for bacteria. The other benefit of sodium lactate is its high capacity for holding water. This will increase the moisture content of the skin. Waste leaf from the distillation process is used to improve the soil and to help to retain moisture. Mosi-guard is the number one selling natural insect repellent and is used world wide. It is the perfect choice for those who want clinically proven protection without having to expose themselves or their family to harsh chemicals such as DEET.

It has a light velvety skin feel and functions as an emollient. It provides a moisturising effect by limiting water loss from the skin. DSTL was more cautious. In the key test, the lab said there was “some loss of recoverable virus” on synthetic latex skin an hour after it had been treated with Mosi-guard. However, some virus was still recoverable over a four-hour period. Add to your insect protection efforts by covering up in BUGTech™ anti-insect clothing - especially between dusk and dawn.
