Effectiveness

The overwhelming feedback on Nature’s Botanical is positive and the reviews that you see on this website are authentic. It is an option for you to try if you do not want to continue using DEET or Picaridin repellents.

• 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 waterproof 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 sunscreen before applying the cream.
•  We feel that the product is an excellent alternative to traditional repellents containing harsh chemicals and with the above factors in mind if you are not satisfied with the product in various situations we will provide you a full refund. Please keep evidence of your purchase such as a receipt or photo of your payment method.  We genuinely hope to make a difference in your outdoor lifestyle in a more healthy and planet-conscious way.
