Natural Mosquito Repellent

Harnessing the power of nature to protect our community from mosquito-borne diseases.

The Formula

Natural Ingredients

Four powerful components working in synergy to create a safe, effective barrier.

๐Ÿƒ

Camphor (Kapur)

Acts as a powerful aromatic repellent. When mixed with oil, it releases vapors that confuse and drive away mosquitoes.

Why we chose it

Selected for its rapid vapor release and immediate knockdown effect on flying insects.

Key Benefit

Strong scent, antimicrobial

๐Ÿƒ

Pudina (Mint)

Menthol in mint leaves provides a cooling sensation and a refreshing scent that mosquitoes find offensive.

Why we chose it

Chosen to counteract the strong camphor smell with a fresh scent that is also a proven natural deterrent.

Key Benefit

Natural repellent, fresh aroma

๐Ÿƒ

Neem

Contains Azadirachtin, one of nature's most effective insecticidal components. Highly effective and long-lasting.

Why we chose it

The cornerstone of the repellent; selected for its long-standing history in Ayurvedic medicine and high efficacy.

Key Benefit

Insecticidal properties, therapeutic

๐Ÿƒ

Coconut Oil (Nariyal tel)

Serves as the perfect carrier base. It nourishes the skin and ensures the essential oils stay effective for longer.

Why we chose it

Selected as the ideal carrier due to its skin-nourishing properties and ability to stabilize volatile ingredients.

Key Benefit

Skin-friendly base, slow release

Preparation Process Step-by-Step

1

Prepare Base

Infuse neem leaves in coconut oil by heating gently.

2

Extract Pudina

Crush fresh mint leaves to release menthol and add to the mixture.

3

Add Camphor

Dissolve crushed camphor into the warm oil for maximum potency.

4

Filter & Store

Strain the mixture and store it in an airtight glass container.

Why it works?

Terpene Synergy

The combination of Camphor's terpenes and Neem's limonoids creates a complex odor profile that mosquitoes avoid.

Slow Evaporation

Coconut oil acts as a fixative, slowing down the evaporation of volatile essential oils for long-lasting protection.
