When you choose an insect repellent for your family, you want to know two things: that it works, and that it’s safe for the people and the world you love.
That is why we are incredibly proud to announce that Citriodiol®, our plant-based active ingredient found in many of your favourite natural insect repellents, has just been awarded a Diamond Product Sustainability Award. This is the highest level of recognition available, and it places us alongside other major eco-conscious brands like Seedlip, YETI, and Tony’s Chocolonely.
In a world full of “green” labels, we know credibility matters. This award is backed by a rigorous, independent evaluation process. Products aren’t just taken at face value; they are globally benchmarked against strict environmental criteria aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve Diamond status, a product must demonstrate a truly exceptional commitment to the environment.
Nature is at the heart of everything we do. The judging panel awarded Citriodiol® this top honour because of our “strong circular production model.”
What does that mean for you? It means the Citriodiol® inside your bug spray is sustainably and responsibly sourced from our Eucalyptus citriodora tree farms. It means our production process is highly resource-efficient and reduces reliance on fossil fuels. And, importantly, it means our ingredient is rapidly biodegradable, so it leaves no harmful trace behind in the environment.
As Anna Chatburn, the Founder of the Sustainability Award, noted during our evaluation:
“Citriodiol® is an effective, plant-based ingredient for natural insect repellents that is suitable for use by the whole family… Citriodiol® demonstrates how sustainability can be integrated into an everyday product without compromising effectiveness.”
You shouldn’t have to choose between protecting your skin from biting insects and protecting the earth. With Citriodiol®, you can do both.
Next time you are gearing up for a family hike, a holiday, or just an evening in the garden, check the label on your insect repellent. When you see Citriodiol® on the front or in the ingredient list, you can feel confident that you are making a choice that protects you, your family, and our beautiful planet.
