Ticks and mosquitoes are one of the leading global causes of disease and death due to their ability to spread over 500 viruses, nearly 100 of which cause disease in humans (Lanciotti et al., 2016). Regarding mosquitoes, the WHO says that their ability to transmit and spread diseases is responsible for millions of deaths each year, with malaria alone causing 438,000 deaths in 2015. Whether you want to spend your warm days undisturbed by biting insects or you are traveling to an exotic destination with a high risk of tropical diseases, you need a reliable and safe repellent.
The most effective natural insect repellent is lemon eucalyptus oil .
First registered by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 2002, it is the first and so far only natural non-GMO plant-based repellent whose effectiveness against Zika and West Nile viruses has been recognized by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (US CDC). It is also considered the only phytoalternative to DEET (which has become notorious due to concerns about neurotoxicity), and its effectiveness and potency have been confirmed in a number of studies (Trigg et al., 1996; Barasa et al., 2002; Carroll et al., 2006; Frances et al., 2014). It is published under Regulation (EU) No 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 concerning the making available on the market and use of biocidal products (Safe insect repellents, disinfectants and other industrial chemicals (biocides) in the EU).
Lemon eucalyptus oil is effective against a number of biting insects, including bedbugs and ticks. It is extracted from the Eucalyptus citriodora tree (also known as Corymbia citriodora), a renewable resource that grows in many parts of the world. The lemon eucalyptus oil in Zed Zed Forte is extracted using a special technology that mimics and accelerates the natural ripening process of eucalyptus leaves, converting the citronellal in them into the potent compound p-methane-3,8-diol (PMD).
PMD is typically found in extremely low amounts in natural essential oils – no more than 1% or 2%. Hydration and cyclization technology increases its concentration to a minimum of 64%, making it a tenfold more potent repellent than lemon eucalyptus essential oil.
Unlike other essential oil-based products, the active ingredient in Zed Zed Forte has passed the most rigorous safety and efficacy testing and is registered by the following agencies:
- European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)
- Swedish Chemicals Agency (KEMI)
- The Dutch Board for the Control of Plant Protection Products and Biocides (Ctgb)
- US Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA)
- Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA)
- Canadian Pest Management Regulatory Agency (PMRA)

Treat the skin of the face with particular care by spraying it on the hand and then applying it carefully, without affecting the eyes and mouth. If the skin becomes irritated, discontinue use. In children, the skin should be treated by an adult who applies the spray to the palms of their hands and rubs the child's skin.
