The search trend and the regulatory alarm of 2025
In the last 18 months, searches for “non-toxic mosquito repellents” have skyrocketed across Europe, and as an alternative to this concern, essential oil mosquito repellents are the solution consumers are looking for. This trend responds to consumers’ growing interest in more respectful solutions for their family and home. This context becomes critical in the run-up to September 2025, when new European regulations will come into force requiring all insect repellents containing more than 1% transfluthrin to be labeled as a “product that could cause cancer”.
This regulatory change represents a turning point for the retail channel. Manufacturers and retailers must act urgently to reformulate their products or replace them with safe alternatives. In this scenario, the solution is already available, tested and ready to enter your shelves: Efi-Protect Goodbye Mosquitoes, by Tenka Best. This solution is complemented by other insecticides also developed in accordance with the new regulations, such as Efi-Protect Adios Moscas, and Efi-Protect Antipolillas in bag or hanger format.
