Our company heritage, built on uncompromising business values and ethics, is extremely important to us, having been operating for more than 25 years. Jacqueline Watson, our Managing Director, shares details on the history of our company and more below.
Natural, safe, effective
Produced by nature, backed by science and supported by data, you will have read a lot about our product, Citriodiol® – a naturally sourced active ingredient found in many insect repellents worldwide. But what is Citriodol®? What does it look like? Find out more in our video with George Parker, our Chief Scientific Officer – you also get to see our new laboratory in Leeds!

Successful sustainability
From seedling to Citriodiol®, we have worked to ensure that the creation of our natural active substance for insect repellents is as sustainable a process as possible. We recently spoke with Canadian publication, Happy Eco News, to tell them our story.
