Natural Insect Repellent

Reviewed by

Staying fresh and protected from mosquitoes while camping isn’t always easy, but that’s exactly what Lemon Myrtle Fragrances has been helping families do for years. This Australian-made and -owned brand infuses their products with 100 per cent pure lemon myrtle essential oil, known for its antibacterial properties and refreshing citrus scent.

Perfect for a weekend or weeks-long camping trip, the Natural Insect Repellent is a lifesaver when it comes to being kind to your skin – but not so kind to insects. With just a few spritzes, pesky mosquitoes and sandflies are nowhere to be seen, a huge relief when you’re camping with little ones. Arguably, though, the best part is the spray’s zesty fragrance, which keeps sometimes unpleasant campsite odours at bay.

I also love how you can save on packing space with the Original Lemon Myrtle Fragrances Soap Bar, which triples as body, hair and hand wash. When used as a shampoo bar, you will be impressed by how nourished it will leave your hair. You can say goodbye to clothing stains, as well, because it even works as a laundry bar or stain remover when mixed with water. Formulated with macadamia oil, certified sustainable palm oil and lemon myrtle essential oil from the East Coast of Australia, the bar is gentle on your skin.

Lemon Myrtle Fragrances’ sustainably sourced products deliver great results, so it doesn’t matter how dirty the kids (or you) get on your next adventure. A range of the company’s products now come in a handy 100ml travel size, so you don’t have to compromise on quality just because you are on the move. With recyclable packaging and no harsh or irritating chemicals, it’s skin and body care you can feel good about. My verdict? It’s a total win.
