Mozzi Magic Insect Repellent with Nootkatone

This NPR audio link from 2011 featuring the CDC's search for a new type of insect repellent to replace DEET is provided

                                                     No coconut oil in the Mozzi, but this is a newer version of the original that got em coming back for more.  Now even more NOOT®

Superstar Ingredients: 

Nootkatone (Kosher), Beta-Glucan, Algin

4 OZ. Spray

Note:  This water based product contains a small amount of alcohol to function as a preservative and to protect against freezing - as we do sell quite a bit of it in the winter months up North to people obviously planning to travel.  The Beta-Glucan / Algin included in the Mozzi gives it a very nice feel and prevents drying of skin, in spite of the alcohol.  

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

Q.  I see that the active ingredient is peppermint oil.  Given the amazing insect repellent qualities reported of nootkatone, why is nootkatone not listed as an active ingredient?

A.  Great Question!  Although nootkatone has been recognized by the Center for Disease Control as a promising alternative for people who wish to avoid DEET, the EPA is the regulating authority in this space and has not yet approved it for such labeling.  The EPA does allow nootkatone to be used in insect repellents as a 'fragrance ingrediet'.  It  has for many years.  To date though, no other company has done so - due to cost, and the difficulty in educating and promoting a product while not being permitted to label in accordance with such proper education.
