Ingredients that block bugs from your skin

At Lafosse Soap Co, we combine premium essential oils with a lightweight carrier to create a highly effective, natural mosquito repellent. Each ingredient was chosen for its proven ability to repel mosquitoes while working together for stronger, longer-lasting protection that feels pleasant on the skin.

Organic Clove & Cinnamon Essential Oils

These two powerful oils rank among the strongest natural mosquito repellents. Rich in eugenol and other active compounds, they disrupt mosquitoes’ ability to sense and locate you. Together they provide fast-acting repellency that is especially effective against common backyard species.

Organic Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil

Lemon Eucalyptus is a proven mosquito and insect repellent. It helps mask human scents that attract bugs and creates a barrier mosquitoes avoid. When combined with clove, cinnamon, and cedarwood, its repellent power is enhanced through synergy, delivering even stronger and longer-lasting protection against mosquitoes.

Cedarwood Essential Oil

Cedarwood adds extra layers of protection and acts as a natural fixative, helping the other oils linger longer on your skin. It also provides additional repellency, especially useful during peak mosquito hours at dusk.

Organic MCT Oil (Carrier)

Sourced from coconuts, our lightweight MCT oil serves as the perfect base. It absorbs quickly without feeling greasy, helps the essential oils spread evenly and bind to skin, and slows evaporation so the protection lasts longer. Some studies even suggest coconut-derived oils offer mild mosquito-repelling properties themselves.
