Going on holiday to tropical destinations or to the water and need a really effective, but non-chemical, repellent that protects you against potentially infected bedbugs, doesn't take up too much space and can be sprayed on exposed skin? Want to keep your dog or cat from getting fleas?

Herbal Bug-X™ is a patented repellent that works perfectly, thanks to a super-effective formulation based on medicinal essential oils derived from wild oregano flowers, bay leaf, lavender, basil, clove and lemongrass essential oil. All the essential oils used are sourced from wild herbs growing in remote areas and therefore the price is slightly higher than competing products.

Scientific studies have also shown that the essential oils contained in the flowers and leaves of plants provide natural protection against insects. Since aroma is a form of communication in the botanical realm, and each plant contains hundreds of chemicals, each plant species can be said to send specific messages to its surroundings.

The attractive aroma attracts e.g. pollinating insects and the repellent aroma deters unwanted insects. What can lure insects away from the plant is exactly what works in a natural "human" repellent. It is proven that the most powerful natural repellents include the essential oils of bay leaf and juniper, along with wild oregano and clove.

If you do get stung, spray the site with Herbal Bug-X spray to prevent allergic reactions and unpleasant itching.

Attention

• Repellents intended for application to the skin are applied to unprotected parts of the body, i.e. hands, feet, neck, hair.
• Do not apply under clothing, on irritated, burnt or abraded skin.
• Repellents should not be applied to the eye or mouth area.

Action of repellents

• No repellent can stay active all day.
• Repellent application should be repeated according to personal need and depending on the environment.
• The activity of the repellent is reduced by the temperature of the environment (e.g. a temperature higher by 10 degrees can reduce the effect of the repellent by up to 50%), sweating, bathing, rain.
• The reliability and duration of action of the repellent depends on the method of application, the rate of evaporation and absorption by the skin and, in particular, the chosen concentration of the active substance.
• The more concentrated the substance, the longer the repellent will last (but it will not have a stronger repellent effect!).

Main active ingredients

Active ingredients:

Lemongrass oil - 2% - Lemongrass contains natural substances that have insecticidal and repellent properties. Citronella is one of the main active ingredients in lemongrass, which repels mosquitoes. It is a volatile oil that is commonly used in candles, sprays and lotions to repel mosquitoes. Lemongrass also contains other volatile oils such as geraniol, limonene and citral, which repel mosquitoes.

Clove oil - 2% - In a study published in February in the journal Scientific Reports, scientists showed that eugenol (the main component in clove oil) has a lasting and safe effect against the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which spreads viruses that cause dengue fever, yellow fever, chikungunya and zika.

Inert substances:

Filtered water - forms the base of the micellised mixture (water soluble, thus increasing its absorbability).

Wild oregano essential oil - the main components of oregano essential oil are carvacrol and thymol. These may have antimicrobial properties. In a 2019 laboratory study, carvacrol and thymol prevented the growth of various strains of Staphyloccus aureus (S. aureus) bacteria in meat and dairy products, suggesting they could help control the growth of the bacteria in food. Oregano oil is therefore added to the repellent as a natural preservative.

Wild bay leaf essential oil - bay leaves are an effective natural repellent that can repel a variety of insects including: cockroaches, flies, mosquitoes, spiders, ants, silverfish (insects that love damp, poorly lit and cool places - very often found in basements, closets, under sinks or even in bathrooms).

Essential oil of true lavender - in terms of chemical composition, lavender essential oil is very complex - it consists of more than 150 substances. The active substances in lavender are essential oils, tannins, anthocyanins, bitter substances and resins. When rubbed into the skin, the oil is absorbed very quickly and can be detected in the blood in as little as 5 minutes. It is obviously an excellent insect repellent, we all know that lavender is not liked by moths, but also by other insects such as mosquitoes. Lavender alone partially repels insects, but it works better if mixed with lemongrass in a similar ratio.

Essential oil of basil - its essential oil is effective in defending against insects. Basil essential oil has insecticidal and repellent properties, it is effective against flies, mosquitoes and other insects.
