TRAVERSE 138
TRAVEL SIZE INSECT REPELLENT Riding through southern Nepal there ’ s no doubt that the mosquitos love travellers from afar , they were problem enough that the local people only recently stopped using DDT to destroy breeding grounds . Commercially available products containing DEET , common in most insect repellents , didn ’ t seem to work … out came The Intrepid Explorer Travel Size Insect Repellent .
A convenient 60ml container more than enough for a ride through exotic locations where still jungle waters are festooned with biting insects . Made from Aqua , Sodium Gluconate , Allantonin , Niacinamid , Sodium Hyalurate , Grapeseed Oil , Green Tea wax , IR3535 , Vitamin E , Mandarin EO and Cardamom EO this repellent looks a little weird compared to the conventional , resembling wax or some sort of old water contaminated grease . Do not let looks deceive you .
The creams natural fragrance is that of mandarin and cardamon , there ’ s actually something lemony about it too , the aroma is delicious , in fact nice enough to leave on overnight to prevent things getting you in your sleep . It won ’ t leave you or the bedding greasy . And yes it does work , we found it to be better than the chemical-based alternative , working well in Nepal and just as well , if not better in Australia and most travellers know the insects are the worst in Australia , right ?
