The main ingredients of mosquito repellent

Lemon eucalyptol is derived from lemon eucalyptus oil from the leaves of lemon eucalyptus in Australia. Its main component is lemon eucalyptol, with a fresh aroma, natural, safe, and non-irritating to the skin. The main components of lemon eucalyptus oil are citronellal, citronellol and citronellol acetate, among which the really effective mosquito repellent components are citronellol and citronellal. Among them, the mosquito repellent effect is actually purified from citronellal to obtain the purest monomer element citric eucalyptol (PDM). In each kilogram of lemon eucalyptus oil, 57% of citronellal (about 570 grams) can be obtained. After purification, only 302 grams of citronellol can be obtained, so citronol is relatively expensive.

There are also many essential oil-based mosquito repellents on the market, such as citronella, mint and other natural essential oils. Lemongrass itself has a good mosquito repellent effect! However, the evaporation rate of essential oils is quite fast. The content of essential oils on the market is generally 5% added, which means that the effective mosquito repellent time for more than 100 ml of mosquito repellent liquid you buy after being diluted is about 20 minutes at most. If you want to have the effect all the time, you need to spray it every 20 minutes, which is not easy to use at all.

The choice of mosquito repellent should not only focus on the price of the unit price, but also pay attention to the cost performance. Understand the ingredients without wasting money! Expensive truth is always the case. When we compare products, we don’t just look at the price, but whether the price and the essence can match. It is a wise decision to choose a mosquito repellent with a higher concentration of lemon eucalyptus and a long-lasting mosquito
