Fixatives increase the efficacy of gel formulations containing Piper aduncum linnaeus (Piperales: Piperaceae) essential oil as repellenty

Piper aduncum essential oil exhibit repellency activity and has a potential to be use as an alternative for synthetic repellent such as N,N-diethyl-3- methylbenzamide, (DEET). However, the volatility properties of the essential oil decrease their persistence as a topical repellent. Study has shown t...
