Natures Botanical Natural Insect Repellent Barrier Cream

Natures Botanical Natural Insect Repellent Barrier Cream

• The crème is white, in an olive oil base so thicker than the lotion and comes in a tub.
• Due to its essential oils, the crème has a pleasant aromatic odour.
• It has a nourishing consistency when you apply it, and is particularly good for those with dry skin.
• As it tends to get applied more thickly it probably requires less applications than the lotion.
• Its economical as it goes a long way and lasts a long time. As it has an olive oil base it is slightly water resistant so good when one perspires heavily from the brow or is outdoors around water.
• When the Crème is rubbed into the skin it is slightly tacky to begin and then becomes transparent and leaves no oily residue.

Effectiveness

• Extensive field studies have shown the product can repel flies, midges/sandflies & mosquitoes for up to 4 hours when applied to lower limbs.
• Protection time & effectiveness varies between people like any product depending on: How much is applied, the area of protection (limbs are less attractive to flies than the face), skin chemistry and level of sweating & how aggressive the bugs are (difference between aggressive tropical mosquitoes & non-tropical mosquitoes. A few flies and hundreds of flies).
• The natural fly repellent product for flies should significantly reduce landings from a few to none at all. They may hover, some may land but they generally tap out quickly so that the person does not have to keep using their hands to chase the flies off.
• For biting insects ensure the product is applied to all exposed areas, applying it like you would a sunscreen (note it does not offer SPF protection). In this case you should find the natural repellent product is very effective in eliminating bites.
• Both the natural insect repellent lotion and the cream are as effective but in some cases the cream may be better. It tends to get applied more thickly therefore lasting longer. It is also slightly water proof due to it being in an olive oil base so many say it does not run into their eyes if they are perspiring a lot. When the sun is intense ensure you use a sunscreen before applying the cream.
