Citronella and Calendula Mosquito Repellent Lotion. 99.99% of the total ingredients are of natural origin. This Ecocert-certified natural lotion, based on Pyrethrum extract and certified essential oils of lavender, eucalyptus, citronella, and organic calendula water, is a healthy and effective solution for keeping insects away. Pyrethrins, active components obtained from the Dalmatian Pelire plant, attack the nervous system of insects, affecting interneuronal connections and thus preventing female mosquitoes from biting. They are considered among the safest natural insecticides to use around food and are also biodegradable. This extract has been dermatologically tested by the University of Barcelona and is effective for 6-8 hours against mosquitoes that transmit the Zika virus, tiger mosquitoes, and common mosquitoes. It also repels wasps, ticks, flies, bedbugs, and spiders. Monquitos is reinforced with essential oils, which also give it an extraordinary natural aroma, and calendula water, making it a protective cosmetic suitable for use even on the most sensitive skin. Shake well before use. Do not swallow. Apply as often as necessary, to the skin or surroundings.
