Mozzi Magic Debuted a Natural Spray with Nootkatone
Colin Smith — June 7, 2022 — Eco
Mozzi Magic debuted the Mozzi Magic Insect Repellent spray with a water base. The primary active ingredient in this spray is peppermint oil. By using peppermint oil, the product can be made without DEET, resulting in a safer and more environmentally-friendly bug spray.
The Mozzi Magic Insect Repellent spray includes a small amount of nootkatone, the ingredient found on grapefruits that was recently approved by the CDC for use in bug sprays and fragrances. However, the spray is not entirely based on nootkatone because Mozzi Magic stated that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has not yet approved this ingredient for this specific use.
The product is available in small 4-oz spray bottles for $27 USD online and at various third-party retailers. It is important to note that Mozzi Magic stated that it will increase its percentage of nootkatone as the EPA approves it for this use case.
