RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Manuka essential oil is a rare botanical ingredient in Australia, with antiviral, antifungal, air purifying, antiseptic and mosquito repellent properties. Lavender oil from Provence, France, calms the mind and helps with sleep. Other ingredients include lemongrass oil and citronella oil which are outstandingly antibacterial and insecticidal, peppermint oil which refreshes the mind and repels insects, and geranium oil which improves blood circulation, freshens the air and repels mosquitoes.
CHALLENGE: Unlike the traditional screw cap design, the product features an integrated cap and body design through a rotating and retractable structure, which saves time in opening or closing and prevents the loss of the cap. In addition, the product repels mosquitoes by slowly releasing natural essential oils, which fixes health and safety issues in traditional mosquito repellent products that rely on chemicals and electric heating to work, addressing the concern of customers when making a purchase.
