WORMWOOD Hydrolate, 100 ml

The body odor masking properties of wormwood hydrosol are supplemented and enhanced by the traditionally used essential oils of citronella and clove.

The main component of clove essential oil, the phenylpropanoid eugenol, belongs to a group of active substances that also have insecticidal effects, and its pungent aroma masks the natural odor of the skin, which usually attracts bloodsuckers.

Citronella essential oil itself has been used continuously as an insect repellent for almost 50 years, but the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency 1997) has not received a single negative review. This long history of use, without negative incidents, and low acute toxicity to mammals indicate that citronella oil does not have a negative impact on the environment.

INGREDIENTS: Artemisia absinthium extract, Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Extract, Cymbopogon Winterianus Herb Oil, Eugenol, Geraniol,  Citronellol, Limonene, Linallol,   Isoeugenol

We recommend storing in the original packaging, out of the reach of children. The hydrosol mixture contains some natural plant dyes, so it is not recommended to use it on light-colored clothing.

Usage: Spray this hydrosol on your skin and surrounding areas if you want to protect yourself from unpleasant insect bites in a natural way.

The essential oils in the wormwood hydrosol mixture mask body odor. As the mixture dries, it covers the skin surface with a bitter microfilm, helping to protect against mosquitoes and other annoying insects.

Safety precautions: store in the original packaging, out of the reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes. The hydrosol mixture contains some natural plant dyes, so it can stain light-colored clothing.
