SANS 1557 SPF 30 accredited combo sunscreen & natural insect repellent — sun protection and mosquito protection in one, without DEET.

Our combination sprays and lotions give you SPF 30 broad-spectrum sun protection together with an effective natural mosquito and insect repellent — ideal for the outdoors, camping, fishing, and travel to malaria- and mosquito-rich regions.

Current research does not recommend combining DEET (Di-Ethyl-Toluamide, the world's most commonly used insect repellent) with sunscreen. A study in the August 2004 issue of Drug Metabolism and Disposition found that DEET applied together with sunscreen penetrated the skin in as little as 5 minutes — versus 30 minutes for a standard 20% DEET solution alone — and was absorbed 3.4× faster, even at half the DEET concentration. That is why we use safe, effective natural alternatives instead.

• Neem Seed Oil (Azadirachta indica) — used in India for hundreds of years in cosmetic and insect-repellent lotions and creams.
• Citronella Oil (Cymbopogon nardus) — a safe, well-known insect repellent used worldwide.
• Citrus Oil (Citrus reticulata, Citrus nobilis) — cold-pressed from citrus peel.

Together these oils are an effective insect and mosquito repellent, proven in tropical, mosquito-rich countries such as Angola and Mozambique, as well as across South Africa.

We supply our insect-repellent sunscreen and natural mosquito-repellent sprays in a variety of containers and pack sizes. For pricing, packaging requirements or a quotation, please complete our product request form, or contact Sharon on 012 811 0065 or email us.
