'NootkaShield' is a United States-based supplier of 99% pure and natural nootkatone. Nootkatone is a sweet-smelling ingredient found in nature that has natural insect-repelling properties. The ingredient itself is also what is responsible for the sweet smells on some fruits, such as grapefruits. Nootkatone was approved by the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in 2020, leading to many bug repellent manufacturers adopting it into their product lines.
The high purity of NootkaShield's nootkatone results in it being non-toxic, non-cancerous, and approved for usage in both repellents and fragrances. NootkaShield does not sell bug repellent on its own, but it is committed to helping companies either incorporate its nootkatone, or create an entirely new product based on its 99%-pure nootkatone supply.
Companies can apply to work with NootkaShield on its website or by sending a direct email to the business.
