HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Mosquito & Tick Repellent by Murphy's Naturals

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 0 of its 1 active ingredient.

This product contains one active ingredient: lemon eucalyptus oil, a plant-derived oil used as a mosquito repellent. The liquid also includes ethanol and deionized water as inactive ingredients (the carriers that make it sprayable).

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: repels mosquitos and ticks.
  • We looked for evidence on: Mosquito repellent, Tick repellent.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Lemon Eucalyptus is rated "Likely Effective" for Mosquito repellent (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Lemon Eucalyptus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Tick repellent.

Lemon eucalyptus oil is rated likely effective as a mosquito repellent — that's what the research supports. The product facts don't provide evidence ratings for its use against ticks or for other conditions like fungal nail infections or joint pain, so we can't speak to those claims.

How safe is it?

Some data gaps
Safety Information · database check
Some gaps

Safety data exists for these ingredients, but with some important gaps.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 0 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Topical use is generally well tolerated for most people when the product is used as directed. The undiluted oil can irritate skin, and you should never swallow it.

During pregnancy, there isn't much safety data on essential oils; check with your doctor before using this product. If you're breastfeeding, avoid applying it near the breast area, and use it cautiously overall since safety information is limited.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and some safety-information gaps remain.

If you're looking for a plant-based mosquito repellent and you're not pregnant or breastfeeding, this product has evidence backing its use. Since you're applying it to skin rather than ingesting it, medication interactions aren't a documented concern — but talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions about how it fits with your individual health situation.

Mosquito & Tick Repellent by Murphy's Naturals: Common Questions

Does Mosquito & Tick Repellent by Murphy's Naturals interact with any medications?
We do not currently list a known interaction for the mapped ingredients in Mosquito & Tick Repellent. This does not guarantee none exist, so confirm with your pharmacist.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Mosquito & Tick Repellent contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
Does this product actually keep mosquitoes away?
Yes — lemon eucalyptus oil is rated likely effective as a mosquito repellent based on available research. The product facts don't tell us how long the protection lasts or how well it compares to other repellents, so if you need specifics, check the label or ask the manufacturer.
Can I use this if I'm pregnant?
The safety data is thin for essential oils during pregnancy. The facts advise checking with your doctor first. There isn't enough information to say it's safe or unsafe, so a conversation with your own healthcare provider is the right move before you start using it.
What if I'm breastfeeding?
There's limited safety data here too. Avoid applying it near the breast area, and use it cautiously overall. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you while you're nursing.
Can I put this directly on my skin, or do I need to dilute it?
The product is already formulated as a ready-to-use liquid repellent, so you apply it as-is. The facts warn that undiluted lemon eucalyptus oil can irritate skin, but this product is refined and meant for topical use on exposed areas.
What's in this besides the oil?
The active ingredient is lemon eucalyptus oil. It also contains ethanol and deionized water — those are the liquid carriers that let you spray or apply it easily.
Will this interact with my medications?
No interactions are documented in our data for this ingredient. Since it's applied to skin and not swallowed, drug interactions aren't a typical concern — but you can use the medication checker on this page to confirm your specific drugs if you want extra peace of mind.
