The Science of Mosquito Guard Incense Repellent Sticks: Plant Based Essential Oils
Choosing a good mosquito repellent is important for everyone. Unfortunately, it’s easy to get overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices. We worked long and hard to identify natural, non-toxic, plant based ingredients with scientific evidence supporting their effectiveness.
Citronella Oil: Citronella is one of the oldest and better known natural insect repellents on the market. People have planted citronella plants in their garden for years as a way to scare off mosquitoes, ticks, and other insects, too. Results from several University studies demonstrates that citronella oil can help provide up to three hours of toxic-free mosquito protection.
Lemongrass Oil: With its proven track record for repelling mosquitoes, lemongrass is a safe and heavenly smelling partner.
Rosemary Oil: Another plant based oil that has shown to have mosquito repellent effects and it’s best used in combination (as opposed to a single ingredient) with any of the other oils listed above.
