PURESSENTIEL ANTI-PIQUE BITE & STING SPRAY 75ML

Puressentiel Anti-Pique Bite & Sting Spray 75ml is a 2-in-1 insect-repellent and soothing spray designed to help protect the skin from mosquitoes and other biting insects while providing a soothing effect on insect bites.

Its repellent action comes from Citriodiol®, a plant-origin active ingredient derived from lemon eucalyptus essential oil. It helps repel mosquitoes in temperate and tropical areas, as well as other biting insects such as ticks and sandflies.

The formula also contains five essential oils — Tea Tree, Java Citronella, Lavandin Grosso, Niaouli and Peppermint — selected to provide a soothing effect on insect bites.

Laboratory testing has demonstrated effectiveness of up to 7 hours against tiger mosquitoes, common house mosquitoes and sandflies, up to 6.5 hours against certain tropical mosquitoes and up to 5 hours against ticks. Swimming and sweating can reduce the duration of protection.

The convenient 75ml spray format is ideal for travel, holidays, outdoor activities and everyday protection against biting insects. The spray contains no propellant gas and uses a plant-origin active ingredient rather than a neurotoxic insect repellent.
