Bites and mosquitoes

When the warm season arrives, mosquitoes invite themselves into our evenings and our nights. To protect yourself without resorting to synthetic chemicals, aromatherapy offers gentle and effective alternatives. At Pranarôm, we have developed a natural mosquito repellent range based on Citriodiol® and repellent Essential Oils, designed to keep mosquitoes away while respecting your skin and that of your loved ones.

Why choose a natural mosquito repellent?

DEET is today one of the most widely used active ingredients in mosquito repellents. While its effectiveness is well established, its use also raises certain concerns: variable skin tolerance, strong odour, environmental impact. As many points that are increasingly questioned. This is where Citriodiol™ comes in, a plant-based alternative derived from the Essential Oil of lemon Eucalyptus. This active ingredient is recognised for its effectiveness against mosquitoes and ticks, with long-lasting protection and improved tolerance.

Combining Citriodiol™ and Essential Oils, the Aromapic range is a natural solution appreciated by families who want to limit their exposure to chemical components while enjoying daily protection.

Which Essential Oils repel mosquitoes?

Some Essential Oils are recognised for their repellent action. Here are the key ones to know.

Java Citronella

It is the star of natural repellents. Rich in citronellal, Java Citronella Essential Oil releases a powerful citrus scent that helps keep mosquitoes away, whether diluted on the skin or used in diffusion.

Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil contains a high concentration of citronellal. Its fresh fragrance helps create an olfactory barrier that mosquitoes prefer to avoid. It is used diluted on the skin or in synergy with other Essential Oils.

Rose Geranium

Rose Geranium Essential Oil ideally completes a repellent synergy. Its floral and green scent is not appreciated by insects and brings a pleasant note to mosquito repellent preparations.

Spike Lavender

Versatile, Spike Lavender Essential Oil helps repel mosquitoes while soothing the skin. It is a valuable ally, especially when a bite occurs despite everything.

Our ready-to-use mosquito repellent solutions

If you prefer immediate protection without preparation, our Aromapic range brings together ready-to-use solutions formulated by our experts. Body repellent sprays, rollers to apply on exposed areas, sprays for the atmosphere and fabrics: each format meets a specific use. For evenings on the terrace or summer nights, Essential Oil diffusion also helps freshen the air and keep mosquitoes away from the room.

Use biocidal products with caution. Before any use, read the label and the product information.

Protecting baby and the whole family naturally

The youngest are often the first targets of mosquitoes. For them, it is better to use suitable and gentle formulas. Our baby and maternity range offers solutions designed for the delicate skin of little ones, with adjusted concentrations. Always respect the indicated age of use and seek advice from a healthcare professional for infants, pregnant or breastfeeding women.

Naturally relieving mosquito bites

Even well protected, you don't always escape a bite. To soothe itching, the local application of a suitable Essential Oil such as Spike Lavender, diluted, helps quickly relieve the feeling of discomfort. A ready-to-use post-bite roller is also practical to slip into your bag. Remember to respect the precautions of use: avoid the eye area and mucous membranes and do a skin test in case of sensitive skin.
