How Does Settlers Repellent Stop Mosquitoes?
The magic’s in the synergy of our trade-secret blend.
synergy
[syn - er - gy] noun
The interaction of biological structures or substances that produce an overall effect greater than the sum of individual effects of any of them.
Settlers Natural Insect Repellent uses the synergy of essential oils in its patent-pending formula to block mosquitoes and sandflies (biting midges) sensing us.
Unlike other repellent, our combination of handpicked natural ingredients creates a synergistic phenomenon:
The bioavailability of each essential oil’s insect repellent components are enhanced by one another, which exponentially enhances the individual effect of each essential oil.
It’s almost like a new super active is created. Talk about harnessing the power of nature!
As we mentioned in Why Do Mosquitoes Bite Us?, female mosquitoes and sandflies seeking a blood meal rely heavily on detecting the CO2 and chemicals from our sweat and breath. Settlers Repellent stops them from doing this!
Settlers’ formula contains metabolites which interact with receptors on the antennae of mosquitoes and sandflies. This effectively blocks their ability to distinguish our presence, and so they go in search of a feed elsewhere.
As well as their super actives, Settlers Repellent products have an added bonus: they’re made from high-quality soy wax.
The clean, economic burn of soy wax not only results in a longer burn time, it releases the essential oils more effectively into the air. No impurities means no blocking of active ingredients and no release of harmful toxins.
Plus, the relatively low melting point of soy wax means less chance of burns.
High quality natural ingredients that work better, last longer and smell delightful. That’s our promise!
