Having fun at the playground, going for a jungle hike, doing sports on a field – these are thing we all love to do with our families. But there are times when the thought of going outside at certain hours puts us off due to mosquitoes. Mosquitoes are most active at dawn from 6am to 8am and at dusk from 6pm to 8pm, which are ironically the times we like to be outside.

Dengue statistics tell a worrying story and according to the Malaysian Ministry of Health, there were over 32,000 cases of dengue and 53 deaths in the first half of 2018. Each year over 400,000 million people are affected by the dengue virus, which makes you realise that protection against bites is necessary. While preventive measures like ensuring mosquitos don’t breed in your home and surrounds, and using a deterrent like mosquito coils / spray / heaters with anti-mosquito features are necessary and do work, your best form of defence is still a repellent.

Why Tiger Balm?
This household name has been our go-to ointment to soothe everything from headaches and colds to muscle sprains and insect bites for over 100 years. We have the balm in our homes, when we travel and always have one handy one for daily use. Their mosquito repellent range – patch, spray, aerosol – is the best option for family use especially when taking the children outside to play or during any other outdoor activity.

These repellents are made with natural ingredients like citronella, camphor and menthol, and most importantly, don’t contain DEET. The Tiger Balm mosquito repellent range is versatile so you can choose what’s the most suitable for different situations. For example, the patches are ideal for younger children, while the aerosol sprays on very easily and allows for an even coating, lasts a long time, and can be used by the whole family.

Plant-based ingredients, DEET-free
As parents, products with the least or no chemicals are our first choice. Tiger Balm’s longstanding commitment to offering plant-based products is why their repellents work so well and are safe to use. Enjoy your time at the park, playground or any outdoor venue with your children knowing that they’re well protected from mosquitoes!

Tiger Balm’s mosquito repellent range is available at major pharmacies around Malaysia and online marketplaces.
