Finally, a mosquito repellent that smells good, is effective, and whose ingredients you know.
Two 100% natural, DEET-free variants, formulated with lemon eucalyptus extract approved by Health Canada as an active repellent. Natural protection that respects your skin and the planet, in a 100% recyclable aluminum bottle.
Mosquito season shouldn't rhyme with chemical odors and dubious ingredients.
Aurigin has designed two 100% natural mosquito repellents based on lemon eucalyptus extract, an active ingredient recognized and approved by Health Canada as an effective mosquito repellent. No DEET, no synthetic chemicals: only pure essential oils and a light MCT coconut oil base that leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the touch.
The Cedar-Citronella variant offers a woody and fresh blend, both protective and enveloping. The Lavender variant offers a soft and soothing scent that naturally integrates into outdoor routines. Both are pleasant to wear, which is a significant change from the usual conventional repellent experience.
Packaged in a 100% recyclable 120 ml aluminum bottle, this mosquito repellent is also a concrete eco-responsible choice, to keep in your backpack or bag.

Lavender Soft, soothing, and familiar. Pure lavender essential oil offers a naturally pleasant scent that applies like a treatment, not a repellent. The most olfactorily discreet protection in the range.
