Mosquito Repellent Cream Formulation

2. Picaridin (also known as KBR 3023 or icaridin): Picaridin is another effective alternative to DEET. It has a low odor, is non-greasy, and provides long-lasting protection against mosquitoes.
3. Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE): OLE a natural plant  repellent and it collects from the lemon eucalyptus tree. It contains an active ingredient called PMD (para-menthane-3,8-diol), which has been found to be effective against mosquitoes.

 using mosquito repellent creams or lotions

It is important to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Here are some general tips:

1. Apply the repellent evenly to exposed areas of the skin, such as arms, legs, and neck. Avoid applying it to open wounds, cuts, or irritated skin.
2. Use the product sparingly and avoid over-application. A thin, even layer is usually sufficient for effective protection.
3. Reapply the repellent as directed on the product label, especially if you sweat excessively or go swimming. Some repellents provide protection for several hours, while others may require more frequent application.
4. Wash off the repellent after returning indoors to avoid unnecessary exposure.
5. Keep mosquito repellents out of reach of children and follow safety precautions mentioned on the product label.

Starting a mosquito repellent cream business can be a viable venture, especially in regions where mosquito-borne diseases are prevalent or during mosquito season.
