Mosquitoes are attracted to a number of chemical compounds that they can detect from an impressive 50 yards away. The males are not interested in your blood, but the females are a different story, they are thirsty and after the protein and iron in your blood for their own egg production.

Damage of skin cells:
Every time the skin burns, skin cells damaged by UV radiation. And with children the damage reach hard. Their skin cells are particularly vulnerable. Moreover, they are in growth: cell division goes so fast that sometimes there is too little time to repair all the damaged skin cells before they divide again. In those cells arise then as it were, 'scars', which carry their children long life. This is not visible on the outside, because these lesions are deep into the skin cells. But the more 'scars', the greater the probability that a child later in life skin cancer. That is why protection is so important, especially for children.
Tamanu-Oil™ supports the skin against UV. Contributes to cell-renewal.
