Charlotte Today Features Citriodiol® as the Go-To Alternative

Summer is a time for enjoying the great outdoors – from backyard barbecues and hiking trails to simply relaxing on the porch. But this often comes with the unwelcome attention of mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects. For years, consumers have faced a difficult choice: endure the bites or turn to harsh chemical repellents.

We were therefore thrilled when the popular U.S. morning show, Charlotte Today, highlighted Citriodiol® as a leading solution for families looking to stay protected without compromise. In a segment dedicated to enjoying summer safely, our plant-based active ingredient was showcased as a powerful, effective, and pleasant alternative to DEET.

The feature on WCNC-TV perfectly captured the essence of why so many people are making the switch to repellents powered by Citriodiol®. Here are a few of the key highlights from the broadcast:

A Powerful, Plant-Based Active

The hosts noted that you can “skip the harsh chemicals” with Citriodiol®. They correctly identified it as being made from the oil of the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, offering a refreshing, natural origin for a product you put on your skin.

Proven, Registered, and Reliable

Peace of mind is paramount. The segment highlighted that Citriodiol® is EPA-approved, assuring consumers that it has met rigorous standards for efficacy and safety. This isn’t just a natural remedy; it’s a scientifically proven and government-registered repellent that works against mosquitoes, ticks, and more.

Suitable for the Whole Family

One of the most important points raised was that Citriodiol® is “safe for the whole family.” The hosts mentioned its extensive testing, giving parents the confidence they need to protect their children from bites during summer adventures.

A Better User Experience

“It smells really fresh… and it feels light and it’s non-greasy,” one of the hosts remarked. This is a common piece of feedback we are proud of. We believe that protecting yourself from insects shouldn’t have to be an unpleasant experience. You get powerful protection without the sticky feel or chemical odour associated with other repellents.

This feature on Charlotte Today is a fantastic step forward in helping consumers understand that they have choices. Our mission has always been to provide a highly effective insect repellent that is sourced from nature and backed by science. We are delighted that this message is reaching more families across the U.S.
