Citronella Oil acts as the frontline defence, releasing volatile aromatic compounds that interfere with insects' olfactory receptors, effectively masking the body's natural scent cues that attract mosquitoes. Aloe Vera and Portulaca Extract work in tandem to deliver anti-inflammatory and humectant activity, reducing skin reactivity and maintaining hydration during prolonged outdoor exposure. The emollient trio of Shea Butter, Jojoba and Sunflower Oils reinforces the skin's lipid matrix, preventing transepidermal water loss and keeping young skin supple under environmental stress. Olive Leaf Extract provides a secondary antioxidant shield, scavenging free radicals generated by UV and pollution exposure during outdoor activity. ---
