Used as a natural insect repellent derived from plant sources, particularly effective against mosquitoes and ticks, providing protection for several hours. It is especially useful against disease-carrying insects such as those transmitting dengue fever or malaria. Commonly formulated in sprays, lotions, and wipes for personal protection in outdoor settings. Suitable for high-safety insect repellent products, including those for children and sensitive skin, as a safer alternative to synthetic repellents like DEET. Also exhibits skin-soothing and cooling properties, making it ideal for cosmetics, after-sun care, anti-itch products, creams, lotions, or balms that relieve muscle aches, joint inflammation, or provide a refreshing sensation on the skin. Frequently incorporated into eco-friendly, natural, or organic pest control and personal care products due to its biodegradable and environmentally friendly nature.
