Using Insect Repellants

Are you reluctant to put strong insect repellent on your baby's skin? Hardly surprising, given that DEET in the chemical sprays can have nasty side effects. Now, a new product, incognito, claims to offer entirely natural protection against mossie bites (and other flying nasties). Spray it on your skin and it acts, to use Harry Potter terminology, like an invisibility cloak, making you undetectable to the biting female mosquito.
The fresh, pleasant smelling incognito products use a secret blend of 100% natural ingredients, all containing an organically certified citronella only found on the volcanic island of Java, which is much more effective against insects than the ordinary citronella found elsewhere.
Rigorously tested by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, incognito works on all insects, not just mosquitoes. The range includes a 100ml camouflage spray, citronella incense sticks, after-sun moisturiser, and a 3-in-1 shampoo, conditioner and camouflage, as well as soaps: jasmine rice, ginger and citronella; lemongrass and citronella; and luxury loofah soap, which contains skin conditioning loofah for exfoliation as well as cleansing, and therefore the perfect minimalistic product for light travelling - you can even recycle the loofah as a gentle pan scourer when all the soap is gone!
All soap packaging is made from biodegradeable Saa paper, made from sustainable mulberry bark harvested in fair trade conditions by impoverished Thai women.
incognito products are transported ethically, fashionably and practically in their roll-up travel bags which can be hung on a wall or door, or unrolled flat.
You should, however, still take anti-malaria pills if you're visiting a malarial area - it's not worth exposing your child to malaria in any way, for example, if they've been swimming and get bitten before you've had a chance to apply more incognito.
