Family Care Naturals Mosquito Repellent Lotion – 100ml

Details

Natural repellents are often preferred for daily use, especially on young children and people with sensitive skin. This lotion relies on plant-based extracts (often Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus, or similar oils) whose scents mosquitoes naturally dislike. This provides an effective barrier without the stronger chemicals found in some conventional repellents. It is a great choice for day-time activities and routine protection.

Key Skin-Nourishing Ingredients

The “Family Care” formula goes beyond just protection by adding vitamins:

• Aloe Vera: Famous for its immediate cooling and soothing properties. It helps reduce irritation and redness, keeping the skin calm.
• Vitamin A: Important for skin repair and cell turnover.
• Vitamin E: A strong antioxidant that protects skin from environmental damage.
• Vitamin F (Essential Fatty Acids): Helps maintain the skin barrier, keeping moisture locked in and protecting against dryness.

How to Use It Effectively

• Application: Apply a smooth, even layer over all exposed skin areas, such as arms, legs, and neck. Avoid sensitive areas like the eyes, mouth, and any broken or irritated skin.
• Timing: Apply before going outdoors, especially during peak mosquito activity times (morning and evening).
• Reapplication: Reapply every 2 to 4 hours, or more often if you are sweating heavily or have been in water. Since natural repellents can evaporate faster than chemical ones, frequent reapplication ensures continuous protection.
• For Facial Use: Do not spray or rub directly onto the face. Instead, apply the lotion to your palm first, then gently dab it onto your face.

Safety Advice

• Patch Test: Before using on a baby or someone with very sensitive skin, apply a tiny amount to a small patch of skin (e.g., behind the ear) and wait 30 minutes to check for any reaction.
• Storage: Keep the bottle tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
• Keep Away from Eyes: If the lotion gets into the eyes, flush immediately with plenty of water and seek medical advice if irritation continues.

A Simple Summary Table

Protection through Natural Scents

Mosquitoes locate humans primarily by smelling the carbon dioxide we exhale and other chemical odors on our skin. Natural repellents work by releasing a strong plant odor that overpowers the human scent, creating a “fog” that confuses the mosquito and stops it from landing. This lotion uses a blend of these natural essential oils to create a pleasant scent for humans but an invisible wall against insects.
