With a pleasant aroma combining notes of Lemongrass, Rosemary and Lavender, our Away blend is sure to become your new best friend when it comes to keeping those pesky bugs at bay - the natural way!
Rosemary (Rosmarinus Officinalis)
Rosemary’s strong herbal scent helps mask odours that attract insects, making it less likely for them to approach. Rosemary contains compounds such as camphor and rosmarinic acid, which are known to repel mosquitoes and other insects.
Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica)
Cedarwood has been shown to have insecticidal properties, effectively repelling mosquitoes and other pests. With the oil's woody aroma not only deterring insects but also having a lingering effect, providing extended protection.
Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens)
Geranium has a similar profile to citronella, which is widely recognized for its mosquito-repelling abilities, giving this blend not only a floral note but additional repelling benefits.
Lemongrass (Cymbopogon flexuosus)
Rich in citral, a compound known for its effectiveness in repelling mosquitoes, Lemongrass has a fresh, citrusy aroma that’s pleasant for us but unappealing to insects.
Sage (Salvia officinalis)
The potent scent of sage is effective in masking human scents that attract mosquitoes. Sage not only helps repel insects but also has antimicrobial properties that can help protect against infections from insect bites.
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia)
Known for its calming properties, Lavender can help reduce stress while also deterring many insects, including mosquitoes.
Citronella (Cymbopogon winterianus)
Citronella is one of the most popular natural insect repellents, known for its effectiveness against mosquitoes.
Peppermint (Mentha piperita)
Peppermint’s key component menthol, is a natural compound that emits a strong, invigorating scent that is highly unappealing to mosquitoes and other pests.
