IAP Pharma Body Splash Citronella, 200ml

Citronella Body Splash created by IAP Pharma is a cosmetic product for skin care, as it acts as a natural repellent. It also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties that help to improve the dermis, in addition to its relaxing benefits, which are widely known in aromatherapy for their calming effect.

This is because citronella has essential oils such as citronellol, which provides the plant with antiseptic, antibacterial, fungicidal and insecticidal properties. Its recognised lemon scent is due to the presence of geraniol and caryophyllene, which are unpleasant to insects. These oils make the smells that attract mosquitoes, flies and gnats totally unpleasant and cause them to flee.

Citronella also repels lice and ticks and is a boon for school children. It also has antioxidant properties that help to care for the skin, hence its ability to promote tissue regeneration and prevent premature ageing.

Furthermore, in organic cosmetics, it is a medicinal plant that favours skin detoxification and de-inflammation. These are two of the reasons why it helps to tone the skin.

But the best thing is undoubtedly its refreshing scent, which is so adverse to insects and so pleasant to the human sense of smell. Hence, a citrus-scented splash is also relaxing and even invigorating.
