Product Information
Full details
The Lifesystems Natural Mosquito Repellent is designed for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and travelers who require reliable protection against biting insects without relying on synthetic chemicals. Its primary benefit is the use of 40% PMD Citriodiol, a plant-based, renewable ingredient that offers up to 8 hours of effective defense against mosquitoes, midges, gnats, and ticks. While it is highly effective and suitable for children over 6 months, users should note that as with all topical repellents, it requires thorough application on exposed skin to ensure consistent coverage throughout the day.

Troubleshooting
Pump-spray becomes clogged
Rinse the nozzle under warm water to dissolve any dried residue and ensure the intake tube is clear.
Repellent feels sticky upon application
Ensure you are using a light, even mist rather than a heavy concentrated stream; rub into the skin until absorbed.
Unsure if product is still effective
If you are in a high-density insect area and have been sweating or swimming, reapply every 4-6 hours rather than waiting the full 8.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required; simply unlock the pump-spray and apply directly to skin. To care for your bottle, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure the pump mechanism is fully locked after each use to maintain the integrity of the repellent. While the aluminium bottle is designed for durability, avoid puncturing or crushing the container to prevent leaks. The product is compatible with standard outdoor clothing, but avoid direct contact with plastics or synthetic fabrics if possible, as high-concentration oils can occasionally interact with certain surface finishes.
