Price range: 16,80 € through 1.229,06 €

Citriodiol® is a natural, herbal insect repellent, effective against mosquitoes, ticks, flies, midges and other insects and arthropods. It is obtained by distilling the oil of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree (also known as Corymbia citriodora) and is further processed to increase the concentration of the natural compound p-menthane-3,8-diol (PMD), which is the main active ingredient. It is important to note that Citriodiol® does not contain DEET and has been scientifically proven to be as effective as synthetic repellents, but with the advantages of natural origin and a lower environmental impact.
