A natural mosquito repellent spray built on four steam-distilled plant waters: lemongrass, citronella, eucalyptus and peppermint. It is for evenings on the balcony, early morning walks and play time, where a heavy chemical spray feels like too much. Citronella masks the scent cues mosquitoes follow, lemongrass is a studied plant-based insect deterrent, and peppermint cools as it goes on.

Flower and leaf waters are the aromatic water left behind by steam distillation, so this is a light, water-based mist rather than an oily lotion. It dries without stickiness and sits fine on clothing. No DEET, no denatured alcohol drying out skin that gets sprayed daily, no parfum. It smells of lemongrass because it is lemongrass.

How often should you reapply a natural mosquito repellent? Plant-based sprays work for a shorter time than DEET, so reapply every one to two hours outdoors, and after sweating. Spray on exposed skin and clothing, not on the face; spray into your hands and pat it on instead. For babies, spray it on their clothes rather than skin, and use nets and covered clothing during dengue season.
