Our Active Ingredient

Geraniol

At the heart of Notch is geraniol, a naturally occurring compound found in essential oils like rose, citronella, lemongrass and geranium. Geraniol is a monoterpenoid alcohol with a light floral scent. Chosen for its powerful yet gentle qualities, geraniol allows us to offer protection without compromise.
  • Naturally Derived

    Sourced from plants, geraniol is a safe, eco-conscious alternative to synthetic chemicals. It embodies our commitment to safe ingredients and caring for both your skin and the environment.

  • Proven Protection

    Geraniol doesn’t just feel good, it works. Studies have shown that a 5% concentration of geraniol provides strong, long-lasting protection against mosquitoes and ticks, outperforming many other botanical repellents.

  • A Fragrance You’ll Love

    Unlike traditional repellents, geraniol has a soft, floral aroma, light, elegant, and reminiscent of rose petals in bloom. It’s protection that feels like self-care.
