Annique Resque Insect Repellent – 100ml

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

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.

Lightweight, non-sticky and pleasantly scented — safe for children from age 2 and above.

⚠️ For external use only. Safe for children from age 2. If pregnant, consult a healthcare professional before use. Keep out of reach of children. Store out of direct sunlight.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

Rooibos Extract (Aspalathus Linearis)
Loaded with antioxidants, it 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. 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.

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 — 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.
