Top natural insect camouflage products from incognito now stocked at selected Holland & Barrett stores nationwide

Loved by health-conscious stars, now incognito 100% natural, ethically produced anti-insect camouflage spray is coming to a select number of Holland & Barrett stores countrywide, giving the nation much-needed effective, natural camouflage against insects from mosquitoes and fleas, wasps, bees, ticks and even cockroaches.
This timely availability coincides with unprecedented levels of mosquitoes in Europe as well as world-wide due to the shift in climate this year. incognito is in fact the only anti-insect product which covers all manner of creepy crawlies, including ticks which can carry Lyme disease, which can be fatal, and which are also predicted to be out in force in the British woodlands and countryside this summer.

The incognito range of products include the signature spray, loofah soap, anti-insect after-sun moisturiser and citronella sticks, and they are all gentle enough for the most sensitive skins including newborn babies, yet powerful enough for use even in the deepest tropics.

From mid-May the products will be on sale at almost 200 branches of high street health food shop Holland & Barrett; with several in London including Camden, Kensington, Chelsea and the City, as well as key branches in Oxford, Derby, Edinburgh, Southampton, Bath, Chester, Sheffield, Birmingham, Bluewater, Leeds, York, Inverness, Chichester and Tunbridge Wells. The spray has been rigorously tested by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and retails at £8.99.

Already popular both in the UK and abroad, including recently in the Republic of Ireland, Thailand, Hawaii and the Caribbean, 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 more effective against insects than ordinary citronella found elsewhere.

incognito works by masking human kairomones (similar to pheromones), camouflaging the wearer so they remain incognito – unrecognisable – to insects without the unwanted negative side effects and health risks linked to chemical repellents such as DEET.

As well as smelling decidedly better than chemical-based repellents, incognito camouflage products are ideal for adults and children with sensitive skins or skin conditions, as well as avoiding the ingestion of potentially harmful ingredients.

Recent rave reviews for the incognito spray includes Simon Heptinstall of The Travel Editor who rigorously tested it: “I sat in the cat flea armchair. This is a harsh test for any anti-bite claimant as you normally get bitten by one of the cats’ little friends within a second or so. Well, I’m still sitting in it writing this on my knee. No bites and I’d forgotten how comfy this chair is…”

Celebrities who use the products on all their travels include Davina McCall, “it’s brilliant”, Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

Incognito is also sold direct through their website www.lessmosquito.com
