Medicare Mosquito Repellent Lotion with Aloe Vera – 100ml

Details

The primary role of this lotion is to prevent mosquito bites. Mosquitoes transmit serious diseases that are life-threatening. By applying the repellent to exposed skin, you create an invisible barrier that mosquitoes avoid. This is crucial during dusk and dawn when malaria-carrying mosquitoes are most active.

Key Ingredients and Their Function

The lotion works because of its ingredients:

• Active Repellent Ingredient (e.g., DEET or Picaridin): This is the chemical that mosquitoes hate. It interferes with their ability to smell human skin, so they fly away without landing to bite.
• Aloe Vera Oil: This natural extract is famous for its soothing and healing properties. It prevents the skin from drying out and feeling itchy, which is common with pure chemical repellents.
• Vitamin E: A powerful antioxidant that helps protect your skin cells from damage caused by the sun and environment, keeping it healthy.

How to Use It Easily

• Step 1: Apply to Skin: Squeeze a small amount of lotion onto your hands.
• Step 2: Spread Evenly: Apply a thin, even layer to all exposed areas of skin (arms, legs, neck, and face, avoiding the eyes and mouth). DO NOT apply under clothing.
• Step 3: Reapply: Reapply the lotion every 4 to 6 hours, or immediately after swimming or heavy sweating.
• For Kids: For children, spray or squeeze the lotion onto your own hands first, then rub it onto the child’s skin. Avoid applying to children’s hands as they might put them in their mouths.

Safety Advice and Warnings

• Use on Clothes: The repellent is best applied directly to skin. It should not damage clothing, but test a small, hidden spot first.
• Cuts and Wounds: DO NOT apply the lotion to open cuts, irritated skin, or fresh wounds.
• After Use: When protection is no longer needed (e.g., when you go to sleep under a mosquito net), wash the treated skin with soap and water.
• Storage: Keep the bottle tightly closed and away from excessive heat or open flames.

A Simple Summary Table

About Mosquitoes and Prevention

Malaria is spread by the female Anopheles mosquito. These mosquitoes prefer to bite during the evening after sunset and the morning before sunrise. This lotion makes our human scent invisible to the mosquitoes. Therefore, even if a mosquito flies nearby, it won’t be able to locate you to bite. Using this lotion, wearing long clothing, and sleeping inside a treated mosquito net are the best ways to protect yourself from malaria and other mosquito-borne diseases.
