Enhance Your Insect Protection with incognito's Citronella Oil

We have a range of popular products that you can use alongside our Insect Repellent Range that enhance your protection. incognito's Organic Java Citronella Oil offers an additional layer of defence when applied to your clothing. Here’s how you can use this versatile oil to boost your insect protection.

Why Citronella Oil?

Citronella oil is a natural insect repellent known for its ability to mask the scents that attract insects, such as mosquitoes. Derived from the Cymbopogon plant, it emits a fresh, citrusy aroma that is pleasant to humans but repels bugs effectively. incognito's Organic Java Citronella Oil is 100% natural, organic and, as the name suggests, comes from the island of Java. It’s 3 times more potent than regular citronella oils.

It’s a safe and eco-friendly choice for enhancing your insect protection.

How to Use Citronella Oil on Your Clothes

1. Dilution: Before applying citronella oil to your clothing, it’s essential to dilute it with a carrier oil like jojoba or almond oil. Mix a few drops of citronella oil with the carrier oil in a small spray bottle.
2. Application: Lightly spray the diluted oil mixture onto your clothing, focusing on areas such as cuffs, collars, and hemlines. These areas are more likely to attract insects as they are near exposed skin. Be careful not to oversaturate the fabric to avoid oil stains.
3. Refresh as Needed: The scent of citronella can fade over time, especially in hot or humid conditions. Reapply the diluted oil every few hours for continued protection.

Additional Benefits

Using citronella oil on your clothes not only enhances your protection against insects but also leaves a refreshing scent that is far more pleasant than chemical-based repellents. We always recommend that you use our Java Citronella Oil alongside our Insect Repellent Range for ultimate protection, but it is an excellent alternative for those with sensitive skin who want to avoid direct application of insect repellents.

By incorporating incognito's Organic Java Citronella Oil into your outdoor routine, you can enjoy nature without the nuisance of insects. Stay protected, naturally!
