The SoPure Vanilla Mosquito Spray is a topical mosquito repellent that's applied to skin and hair to help repel mosquitoes and reduce bites, with a soft vanilla scent instead of the sharp chemical smell many repellents carry. It's designed to be gentle enough for the whole family to share, and the formula is pesticide- and citronella-free.
If you've been looking for an insect repellent to reach for on summer evenings, camping trips or before bed, this one leans on a lighter, hydrating feel. The non-sticky formula is designed to leave skin feeling comfortable and refreshed rather than tacky, and SoPure lists it as free from harmful insecticides, isopropyl alcohol, petrochemicals and synthetic dyes. It comes in 100 ml, 250 ml and 5 litre options, so you can keep a small bottle in a nappy bag and a larger one at home.
How to Use
- Shake the bottle well before use.
- Spray onto exposed skin and hair.
- Spray into your hands and wipe the liquid gently onto the face, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
- Remember to cover often-missed spots like behind the ears and around the wrists.
- If the area is heavily infested, reapply every 2 hours.
Bathing before application can help boost how well it works. As with any repellent, an adult should apply it for babies and young children rather than letting them handle the bottle themselves.
What's in it
The formula is water-based, using ethyl vanillin for its scent alongside natural ethanol and gentle preservatives (sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate). SoPure describes the formula as non-toxic, biodegradable and eco-friendly, and free from pesticides and citronella.
Best For
The SoPure Vanilla Mosquito Spray is a great option for parents who:
- Want a topical repellent the whole family can use, including on little ones and sensitive skin
- Prefer a gentle vanilla scent over a strong chemical smell
- Like a non-sticky, hydrating feel on the skin
- Are looking for a citronella- and pesticide-free option
Good to know
Bite avoidance is one layer of protection and this spray is not a substitute for clinician-advised malaria prophylaxis or destination-specific travel-health advice, especially if you're heading to a malaria-risk area. Store the bottle upright and safely out of reach of children, in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. In case of accidental contact with the eyes, rinse thoroughly with water. If skin irritation or ingestion occurs, contact the Poisons Information Centre on 021 689 5227 and seek medical advice.
