給毛寵物主人建議：

作為寵物主人，我們明白保護您和毛茸茸的伴侶免受討厭的蟲子的重要性。為了確保正確使用我們的防蟲劑並優先考慮寵物的安全，我們建議遵循以下指南：

1. 在寵物不在旁邊時使用：最好在寵物不在附近時使用防蟲劑，以避免與液體直接接觸。

2. 避免食用：為了防止寵物食用防蟲劑，請確保將其應用在寵物無法舔到或接觸到液體的地方。一個好的做法是將其應用在墊子或布料上，然後放在寵物難以觸及的區域。

3. 使用墊子或布料：在寵物的毛皮上直接應用防蟲劑不太安全，最好是將其應用在墊子或布料上。這樣可以更好地控制施用量，減少意外食用的風險。

4. 遵循建議的使用說明：請仔細閱讀並按照產品標籤上的指示進行操作。按照建議的防蟲劑量進行施用，注意避開眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴等敏感部位。

5. 監控寵物狀況：在應用防蟲劑後，觀察寵物是否有任何不適或不適反應。如果注意到任何不良反應，立即停止使用並諮詢獸醫。

我們相信，當負責任地使用我們的防蟲劑時，可以為您和親愛的寵物創造安全的環境。通過遵循這些簡單的安全措施，您可以在戶外活動中享受無昆蟲的困擾，同時保護您的寵物

Most effective botanical based insect repellent with DEET-like efficacy
(DEET-Free)

DEET is added to many mosquito repellent products on the market. Although this chemical has long been known to be the most effective mosquito repellent available, it's also highly irritative. High doses of (DEET) are known to cause swelling and pain around the eye, headaches, tracheal stenosis, etc., to adults and children, a slew of issues even before you are bitten by the mosquitoes! If you pay attention to the ingredient labels of mosquito repellents available on the market, more than 1/4 of them contain at least one chemical ingredient!

SOVOS New Natural Herbal Mosquito and Midge Repellent Spray Formula: 8 Key Advantages

• 8 hours mosquito repellent duration: 6 times longer than traditional mosquito repellents
  
  
• Approved by US CDC and EPA: DEET-free, natural herbal ingredients
  
  
• Effective against: Repels common local disease-carrying mosquitoes and midges
  
  
• 2 in 1 mosquito repellent + soothing formula: Repels mosquitoes while relieving itching and discomfort
  
  
• Mild and hypoallergenic: Pregnant women, children (36 months or above)
  
  
• Low transdermal absorption: Compared to other active ingredients, the formula reduces absorption into the bloodstream
  
  
• Moisturizing and nourishing: Contains abundant herbal antioxidants to help moisturize, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory skin
  
  
• All natural and safe: No peppermint camphor, no chemical additives and no artificial colors

• Organic Azadirachta indica (Neem) Oil: high repellent efficacy against Anopheles, Culex and Aedes species, acts as carrrier that can help extend the duration of repellent effects by slowing the evaporation of active ingredients from surfaces
• Organic Eucalyptus citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus) Oil: a natural alternative to DEET, active repellent compound: para-menthane 3, 8 diol (PMD) is the only plant-based repellent that has been recommened by the USA Centres for Disease Control (CDC)
  
• Other Proprietary Botanical Ingredients 

 

Azadirachta indica (Neem)

The pesticidal efficacy, environmental safety and public acceptability of neem have led to its adoption into various mosquito control programmes. It is unable to develop resistance in insects too. The maximum reduction rates of Anopheles, Culex and Aedes (common mosquito species in Hong Kong) are 100%, 95.5% and 100% respectively. — Filed study in Guinea Bissau, 1999, 72:39-52

 

Corymbia citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus)

Lemon Eucalyptus, comprising 85% of citronellal, exhibits 100% repellency for Culex spp. and 8 hours protection period.  It is proven clinical effective in preventing malaria and is considered to pose no risk to human health.  — Filed study in India, 1994, 31:505-507

MIDGES & MOSQUITO SPECIES-TARGETED EFFICACY

SOVOS Bioactive Insect Repellent is produced from 100% renewable and natural resources which contains clinical proven mosquito repellent components. This multi-pronged repellent offers knockdown repellency targeting broad spectrum of mosquito species and midges that are commonly found locally.

《 Therapist Tip 》
Why typical natural insect repellents have short protection time? : "The effect of most plant-based insect repellents only lasts from several minutes to several hours due to their highly volatile active ingredients, so although they are effective repellents for a short period after application, they rapidly evaporated leaving the user unprotected. The exception to SOVOS Bioactive Insect Repellent has a lower vapour pressure that provides very high protection over 8 hours prolonging repellency time and a broad range of insect repelling vectors.

Safety measures for pet owners

As pet owners, we understand the importance of protecting both you and your furry companions from pesky bugs. To ensure the proper use of our insect repellent while prioritizing the safety of your pets, we recommend the following guidelines:

1. Apply when your pets are not immediately beside you: It's best to apply the repellent when your pets are not in close proximity to avoid direct contact with the solution.

2. Avoid ingestion: To prevent your pets from ingesting the repellent, please ensure that you apply it in a spot where they cannot lick or access the solution. A good practice is to apply it on a pad or cloth and then place it in an area where your pets cannot easily reach.

3. Use on a pad or cloth: Instead of applying the repellent directly onto your pet's fur, it is safer to apply it on a pad or cloth with three or four spritz. This allows for better control of the application and reduces the risk of accidental ingestion.

4. Do not overdose, three or four spritz for an area is normally more than sufficient. Follow the recommended application instructions: Be sure to read and follow the instructions on the product label carefully. Apply the recommended amount of repellent as directed, taking care to avoid sensitive areas such as the eyes, nose, and mouth.

5. Monitor your pets: After applying the repellent, observe your pets for any signs of irritation or discomfort. If you notice any adverse reactions, discontinue use immediately and consult your veterinarian.

We believe that our insect repellent, when used responsibly, can help create a safe environment for both you and your beloved pets. By following these simple safety measures, you can enjoy outdoor activities without the nuisance of insects while keeping your pets protected.

Best defense against eczema flare-ups is a steady skin-care routine. According to National Eczema Association, keeping your skin’s moisture intact is one of the most important things you can do to help control your eczema.

Eczema therapy cream is a good all-round agent that helps stay hydrated and moisturized regularly, avoid irritating chemicals or fabrics and protect the rash from getting even worse. Since people living with eczema have a damaged skin barrier, the cream helps protect the outermost skin barrier.  

Eczema patients should use every day to help restore the skin's barrier. For the best effectiveness, use after Eczema Therapy Oil.

Suitable for:

• Eczema, sensitive skin & skin redness 
• For facial and body use
• Aged 2 and above 

Therapeutic Effect:

—　Instant relief & soothing 

✔️ Calm the appearance of reactive redness and inflammation
✔️ Soothe the intolerable itch  
✔️ Improve dry and cracked skin

—　Strengthen Skin Barrier 

✔️Speed up wound healing

Ceramide is commonly prescribed by doctors to treat eczema. Beware of the types of ceramide in your eczema cream, Ceramide 2 has a crucial role in the hydration of skin, but only Ceramide 1, 3, 6 are essential in restoring the skin’s own protective function.

市面上不少防蚊產品都加入DEET 避蚊胺。雖然這是目前醫學上最有效的防蚊成分，可是十分刺激，使用濃度過高有機會對大人及兒童造成眼睛腫痛、頭痛、氣管收窄等，小心還沒被蚊子叮前已經得不償失！記得留意市面上的成分標籤，超過1/4都含有至少一種化學成分。

1. 適用於
