Resque Insect Repellent

Premium herbal insect protection that repels, soothes and nourishes — safe for the whole family.

What It Does

Not all insect repellents are created equal. Most conventional bug sprays rely on harsh chemical actives that leave residues on the skin, produce an overpowering chemical odour and can irritate sensitive skin — particularly in children. The Annique Resque Insect Repellent takes a fundamentally different approach, combining the most effective natural plant-based insect-repelling ingredients into one premium herbal formula that does far more than keep insects at bay.

Its unique blend of herbal extracts works synergistically — Lemongrass and Citronella mask human scent and repel mosquitoes naturally, while Neem Oil, Basil and Eucalyptus enhance the repelling action and add antibacterial, antifungal and cooling benefits. Tea Tree Oil addresses any irritation from bites or scratches, Centella Asiatica supports skin repair and healing, and Aloe Ferox hydrates and calms the skin throughout extended outdoor exposure. Rooibos Extract ties the formula together with its powerful antioxidant and skin-soothing properties — protecting the skin from the free radical damage that sun and environmental exposure cause.

The result is a lightweight, non-sticky, pleasantly scented herbal repellent that protects the whole family — safe for children from age 2 and above — whether outdoors, travelling or simply going about daily life in insect-prone environments.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis) Loaded with antioxidants, Rooibos protects the skin from free radical damage caused by outdoor sun and environmental exposure, while actively soothing any irritation that outdoor conditions may cause.

Neem Oil A proven natural insect deterrent with well-established antibacterial and antifungal benefits. Neem Oil helps keep the skin healthy and protected from both insects and the skin concerns that outdoor exposure can trigger.

Lemongrass Oil and Citronella Oil Work together to mask the human scent that attracts mosquitoes and other insects — repelling them naturally while leaving a refreshing, energising herbal aroma on the skin. A well-established combination in natural insect repellent formulas.

Basil Oil and Eucalyptus Oil Enhance the overall insect-repelling power of the formula while providing a cooling and calming effect on the skin during outdoor use.

Tea Tree Oil Anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial, Tea Tree Oil helps reduce irritation from insect bites, minor scratches and other minor skin reactions that outdoor exposure can cause.

Centella Asiatica (Tiger’s Herb) Supports skin repair and healing — particularly valuable after insect bites or prolonged sun exposure. Centella Asiatica boosts the skin’s antioxidant levels and strengthens the skin’s ability to recover from outdoor stressors.

Aloe Ferox Hydrates and calms the skin, ensuring comfort and moisture even during long periods outdoors in heat or dry conditions.
