Singapore’s tropical climate creates the perfect environment for outdoor living but also for mosquito activity. During dengue season, personal protection becomes an essential part of daily wellness, especially for individuals who commute frequently, exercise outdoors, or spend time in parks and open-air environments.
Today, many consumers are moving towards gentler and more holistic wellness solutions that fit naturally into everyday life. Instead of relying solely on heavy chemical-based repellents, there is growing interest in plant-powered alternatives that combine protection with comfort and sensory wellbeing.
At HYSSES, aromatherapy is approached as both a science and a sensory ritual. Our Anti-Mosquito Cooling Spray 65ml was developed to deliver dual-action support - helping to deter mosquitoes while refreshing the skin with cooling botanical ingredients suitable for Singapore’s tropical climate.
According to Cheryl Gan, Founder and Managing Director of HYSSES:
“Wellness products should support the body naturally while fitting comfortably into modern lifestyles. Our aromatherapy cooling sprays are designed not only for practical protection, but also to create a calming and refreshing daily sensory experience.”
Why Dengue Prevention Still Matters in Singapore
Singapore continues to experience recurring dengue outbreaks due to year-round humidity and tropical weather conditions. Even in highly urbanised environments, mosquitoes can breed in small pockets of stagnant water around homes, parks, and construction areas.
This makes personal mosquito protection an important part of daily wellness habits - especially for individuals with active outdoor lifestyles.
Research according to Kongkaew, C., et al. (2011), found that citronella-based formulations demonstrated measurable mosquito repellent activity under controlled conditions.
Another study according to Trongtokit, Y.,et al.(2005), evaluated 38 essential oils against mosquito bites and identified citronella oil among the most effective plant-derived repellents tested.

Understanding Aromatherapy-Based Mosquito Protection
Aromatherapy cooling sprays differ from conventional repellents because they focus on both functionality and sensory wellbeing.
Instead of overpowering synthetic fragrances, they use carefully blended botanical essential oils traditionally associated with environmental freshness and mosquito deterrence. These ingredients also create a cleaner and more refined aromatic experience suitable for everyday use.
The HYSSES formulation incorporates botanical ingredients from its professional aromatherapy collection, including:
-
Citronella Essential Oil — fresh, citrusy, and traditionally associated with natural insect deterrence
-
Lemongrass Essential Oil — bright and herbaceous with uplifting freshness
-
Eucalyptus Essential Oil — crisp and cooling with purifying aromatic notes
-
Peppermint Essential Oil — invigorating and refreshing for humid climates
A scientific review by Maia, M. F., & Moore, S. J. (2011), highlighted citronella as one of the most widely used plant-based mosquito repellent ingredients globally.
Renowned aromatherapy educator Robert Tisserand has also emphasised the importance of proper essential oil formulation and concentration for safe topical use.
