A nature-identical substance is a synthetic compound that is designed to replicate the chemical structure and properties of a natural substance. This means that although it is not derived from a natural source, it is chemically identical to the substance found in nature. An example of a nature-identical substance is vitamin C, which can be produced synthetically but is chemically identical to the vitamin C found in oranges.
In some cases, nature-identical substances may be preferred over natural substances due to their purity and consistency. For instance, some natural substances may contain impurities or contaminants that could be harmful if ingested or applied topically. Nature-identical substances, on the other hand, are produced under controlled conditions and are typically free of impurities.
Citronella is growing in popularity
The global citronella oil market is set to reach a revenue of $180 million by 2033 and expand at a CAGR of 5% according to a recent study of FACT.MR ( https://www.factmr.com/about-company).
Key drivers of the market:
Insects may be a vital part of our ecosystem, but it can become frustrating when they turn their attention to us. Not only are bugs a nuisance in the summertime, but they can also carry harmful pathogens and viruses.
Fortunately, many herbs we love growing in the garden or adding to our favorite meals also have a fragrance that repels insects.
Many plants have protective measures in place to prevent herbivory. For some, it may be thorns or spines but others have chemical properties that deter plant-eating animals and insects. For fragrant plants, the scent will reach an insect’s odor receptor and will either cause pain or confusion, encouraging them to look elsewhere. These chemicals become even more volatile for the insects if the leaves or stems become damaged, where the scent becomes more fragrant.
For centuries, humans have been harnessing plant odors to drive away bugs. Records from Ancient Rome and Greece show people burning plant matter, crafting oils for their skin, or rubbing plants directly on their clothing to fend off insects.
In the present day, gardeners deliberately plant pest-repelling shrubs or herbs in their gardens, but this does little to protect us when we’re exploring nature, having a picnic, or enjoying other outdoor activities. By using plant-based bug balm or repellent on the skin, we can mask our own odors that allow the bugs to find us.
Many have recently turned to plant-based alternatives for common bug sprays in most retail stores. Some chemical components found in commercial bug repellent include:
Many of these chemicals have been associated with causing dermatitis, allergies, and even neurological and cardiovascular side effects when used misuded. They are extremely harmful to children and medically fragile. There are also more significant implications of chemical repellent to the environment, with many breeds of insects developing a resistance to these chemicals over time.
Plant-based balms and repellents can be just as effective, though they do not last as long as chemical products. A good indicator that it is time to reapply those natural products is if you can no longer smell the scent. If you can’t smell them, the bugs can’t either, and it’s time to add more!
Aren't you tired of the side effects coming from hard-to-pronounce meds and chemicals.
There are several herbs that are highly effective at repelling various pest-like insects, many of which you can grow at home or find in your spice cabinet.
Lemon Balm & Citronella
Peppermint or Spearmint
Within the mint family, there’s also peppermint. This hybrid mint is derived from spearmint and water mint (mentha aquatica) and contains methone, menthol, and methyl esters. These potent, fragrant compounds block insect receptors and effectively repel mosquitoes, flies, fleas, spiders, and ants.
Catnip
While we might associate catnip as a feline favorite, this member of the mint family has been considered a natural alternative to N, N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide (also known as DEET). The active ingredient in catnip, nepetalactone, causes a sensation similar to insects as an itch or pain. Controlled studies have shown that mosquitoes were likely to bite skin with catnip. Other insects, such as fruit flies, were also disinterested in surfaces coated in catnip. Studies have also shown catnip can even repel bed bugs.
Lavender
Many people don’t know lavender is also an effective insect repellent, particularly for black flies, mosquitoes, moths, fleas, and flies. While lavender isn’t as long-lasting as other herbs, particularly those in the mint family, with reapplication, lavender can be just as effective as other herbs. It can also complement other herbs in a natural remedy or if you find the minty scents unpleasant.
