Rosemary & Cedarwood Essential Oils are regarded as safe for skin application by regulators such as the EPA and much safer/beneficial than chemicals such as DEET & Picaridin. However new users should undertake a patch test.
In addition to repelling they are well known as having antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and anti-fungal qualities.
The Lotion is emulsified in a proprietary vegetable based gum whilst the cream is emulsified in an olive oil base and a poloxamer which is widely used in facial care, coloring, shampoos, styling products, conditioners, treatments, stick and oral care. Both products contain food grade preservative E211.
