PLANT-BASED LEMON-EUCALYPTUS INSECT REPELLENT

-

THE BUZZ: Repel’s active ingredient is all-natural oil-of-lemon eucalyptus, and it can repel insects for up to six hours. With a 30 percent eucalyptus concentrat­ion, it has a strong citrus scent and is popular with consumers who are concerned about applying synthetic chemicals on their skin. It comes in a 4-ounce pump-spray bottle that is easy to apply onto your skin.

THE STING: Its scent can be strong for some, and it washes off most easily in the water.

PRICE: $5 for a 4-ounce bottle; repel.com
