Buzz Away: Rated Most Effective Natural Insect Repellent
Buzz Away Awarded
the National Parenting Center Seal of Approval
Independent testing by the Good Housekeeping Institute
and Canada's University of Guelph (product testing for the government)
prove Buzz Away is more effective than other leading natural repellents
including:
Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard
Avon Bug Guard Moisturizing Sun Block Spray
Bite Blocker
Natrapel
Jungle Juice
equaled effectiveness of OFF! Skintastic
(DEET-based repellents)
Buzz Away, the all natural DEET-free insect repellent
from Quantum, Inc. of Eugene, Oregon, wins high marks for excellent
performance from Good Housekeeping Institute, University of Guelph,
and The National Parenting Center. First sold in 1994, Buzz Away is
now proven to be one of America's leading brands of natural insect repellents.
These studies are the first time credible independent organizations
have tested the effectiveness of the leading brands of natural insect
repellents against one another.
"We are extremely pleased with the results of these
tests," said Quantum's President Eve McClure. "We've created
a line of non-chemical insect repellents for families who are concerned
over reports on the variety of harmful side effects that DEET-based
repellents have caused, especially in children. As more families realize
that there are more effective and safe natural mosquito repellents,
I am confident that they will choose Buzz Away because it smells great,
it works great, it feels good on your skin, and because it's DEET-free,
it's naturally the best choice for kids."
Buzz Away is formulated with Citronella, Cedarwood,
Eucalyptus, Lemongrass and Peppermint - pure, natural plant extracts
which repel bugs. Registered by the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA), Buzz Away spray is now rated the most effective DEET-free insect
repellent available.
The Good Housekeeping Institute rates Buzz Away as the
most effective natural insect repellent. The 1997 August issue of Good
Housekeeping Magazine article "Rating Natural Insect Repellents"
reported: "The Institute's Chemistry Department compared DEET-based
insecticides to Avon Products and to two other natural repellents, Buzz
Away and Bite BlockerÉBuzz Away was the most effective."
The University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada, a leading
university in Canada for government-based research, also proved that
Quantum's Buzz Away Natural Insect Repellent works better than other
natural repellents. In an independent scientific study at Guelph, head
researcher James Heal (Department of Environmental Biology) concludes
that "Buzz Away is one of the best non-DEET based products we have
tested."
