When should you use Puressentiel Anti-Tick Repellent Spray?
Puressentiel Anti-Tick Repellent Spray is specially formulated to effectively protect the skin against tick and mosquito bites during outdoor activities. Thanks to its formula based on a 100% plant-derived active ingredient from lemon eucalyptus essential oil, it acts as a natural repellent barrier that helps keep biting insects at bay.
Whether you’re taking a walk in the woods, going on a hike, having a picnic on the grass, or simply spending time in your garden, exposure to ticks is common. These parasites live in tall grass, underbrush, and damp areas, where they wait to latch onto the skin as a host passes by. Using a suitable repellent is one of the most effective ways tolimit bites and reduce the risk of exposure to these parasites.
The Puressentiel spray formula is 30% concentrated with an extract derived from lemon eucalyptus essential oil (Eucalyptus citriodora oil, hydrated, cyclized), an active ingredient known for its repellent action against several species of insects. Laboratory-tested, it provides protection lasting up to 6.5 hours against ticks (Ixodes ricinus) and the common mosquito (Culex pipiens), up to 7 hours against the tropical mosquito (Aedes aegypti), and approximately 6 hours against the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus).
Available in a convenient spray format, this repellent allows for quick and even application to exposed areas of the body such as the legs, calves, or arms. Its spray mechanism works in any position, even upside down, making it easy to use outdoors. The formula is also free of propellants and synthetic fragrances, ensuring protection that is gentle on the skin.
Suitable for the whole family, this spray can be used on children as young as 6 months, making it a practical companion for outdoor excursions. Whether you enjoy hiking, camping, or simply taking walks in the great outdoors, it helps ensure your comfort and peace of mind during outdoor activities.
To enhance your protection against ticks, it’s recommended to combine the use of this spray with a few simple precautions: wear long, light-colored clothing, opt for closed-toe shoes, and check your skin after spending time in grassy areas. Additionally, keeping a tick remover in your hiking kit can be useful for quickly removing a tick in case of a bite.

Our expert advice on Puressentiel Anti-Tick Repellent Spray for protection against insects
When heading out to a high-risk area (forest, meadow, hiking trail), apply the repellent spray to your legs and calves before you leave. Ticks are mainly found in tall grass and often attach themselves to the lower body. Wearing light-colored clothing also makes it easier to spot them. When you return, carefully inspect your skin, especially behind the knees, in the groin, and under the arms. Keeping a tick remover in your bag effectively complements this prevention routine.
