Natural Insect Repellent Moisturiser

Description

Product description

Alfresco is a natural insect repellent and moisturiser with a sweet, spicy fragrance designed to smell lovely to humans, but repugnant to insects, especially mosquitoes. Most insect repellents use the chemical Deet, which can react badly on the skin; whereas Alfresco uses botanical extracts Geranium, Lavender and Melissa to keep the insects away. This product is recommended by The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine as the most effective to use, especially for babies and children.

Why it's cult

Alfresco Natural Insect Repellent keeps annoying bugs at bay, with the added bonus over other repellents of moisturising and conditioning the skin without adding toxic chemicals. The problem with most bug repellents is that they also repel humans, but the botanical extracts that Alfresco uses to keep the insects away actually smell lovely. This product is so effective that it has been personally requested on location by stars like Kristin Scott Thomas, Penélope Cruz, Robert Redford and Jude Law.

User reviews of Alfresco Natural Insect Repellent Moisturiser

Totally brilliant

By Fewer wrinkles than my mother, PR consultant, Sixties, Wells, Somerset

I can't think why someone hasn't thought of the brilliant idea of combining insect repellant and moisturizer before. And this is a superb product. It does exactly what it says on the tin; it is absorbed very easily; and it smells delicious. Job done! I was given a bottle before leaving for Thailand and used it every evening - wasn't bitten once. Then when we flew to Lao, I forgot I had it in my backpack - and it was taken away at the airport. I haven't been so miserable for ages.

We have a home in Spain & my poor hub usually gets bitten to bits - whatever repellent he wears. Not with this stuff: not a single bite! Lovely & moisturising & I personally think it smells GORGEOUS! The scent just reminds me of warm, (bite free) balmy nights.
