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 when used as directed. 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 protection against mosquitoes and ticks, outperforming many other botanical repellents.

  • Pink rose
    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.
