Chemical-laden bug sprays that offer protection from insects can often leave a sticky or heavy feeling that leaves those who love the outdoors longing for a shower. Rather than applying products post-shower, this inventive [insect repellent solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/natural-insect-repellents) from Incognito can be worked into a personal hygiene routine.

The 'Luxury Loofah Soap' gets its power from the brand's own insect-repelling soap, which is used in this product to deter [biting insects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzie). The simple all-natural ingredients used in the making of the soap bar appear in this loofah; coconut oil, sesame oil and citronella oil nourish and cleanse the skin while also keeping bugs at bay.

Unlike many insect-repelling products on the market, this one won't leave behind [nasty chemicals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fumakilla-skin-vape) or an undesirable scent.
