A very pleasant and effective alternative is now being made by a Fair-trade organisation, Lulu Life in the Sudan, it is wild harvested Shea butter with added lemon eucalyptus oil, a natural, plant-based insect repellent, which has been proven highly effective against mosquitoes.
Lemon eucalyptus oil, derived from eucalyptus leaves, is a natural mosquito repellent. It has been approved as effective and safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is recommended by the CDC as a means to prevent West Nile infection. A 2002 study in the New England Journal of Medicine compared different synthetic and herbal repellents and concluded that the herbal repellents that contain a high concentration of lemon eucalyptus oil were very effective.
Not only is Lulu Life Shea Mosquito Repellent a natural product that is made by a Fair-trade women's organisation it has a pleasant fresh lemony fragrance - and most importantly it works!

Fair-trade means that those of us who live in developed countries offer support to people in countries that are not as privileged by buying goods made by them. As a result, there are many men and women who are now able to support themselves their families and their communities financially and gain a sense of pride in their business and the beautiful products they sell around the world
