The Bennetts Mozzie Stick is a topical mosquito repellent stick specially formulated for babies and toddlers, and safe to use from birth. Made in a 40ml stick that's easy to slip into a nappy bag, it can be applied to your little one's body and face to help protect against mosquitoes — handy for warm summer evenings, camping trips and outdoor play when biting insects are about.
It's built around gentle, plant-derived ingredients, including citronella, lemongrass and zinziba (Lippia javanica), and the range is cruelty free. If you're looking for a baby-friendly bite-reduction option to keep on hand through the warmer months, this is designed with the youngest skin in mind.
How to use
Apply to your baby's body and face to help protect against mosquitoes, and re-apply every 4 hours to keep the protection topped up. As with any new product, we'd suggest testing it on a small area of skin first (see the safety notes below).
Key ingredients
| Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) Oil |
What it does: A plant-derived oil traditionally used in mosquito repellents. Why it works: It's one of the botanical actives the formula uses to help discourage mosquitoes from landing and biting. |
| Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates) Oil |
What it does: A fragrant plant oil that works alongside the citronella. Why it works: It adds to the botanical blend chosen to be gentle enough for babies and toddlers. |
| Zinziba (Lippia javanica) Oil |
What it does: A southern African plant oil included in the repellent blend. Why it works: It completes the trio of plant-derived ingredients the stick is formulated around. |
Best for
The Bennetts Mozzie Stick is a great option for parents who:
- Want a baby- and toddler-friendly repellent that can be used from birth
- Prefer a plant-derived, cruelty-free formulation
- Need something compact to apply to both body and face during outdoor time
Safety information
Apply on a small area of your baby's skin before first use to test for irritation. For external use only — avoid contact with the eyes, and keep out of reach of children. This is an everyday bite-reduction product and is not a substitute for malaria-prevention measures; if you're travelling to a malaria-risk area, speak to a healthcare professional about the right precautions for your family.
