THE FIGHT AGAINST COVID 19
With the health crisis of Covid19, the need for hand sanitiser and further equipment has significantly increased, impacting on hospital staff safety and budgets across the world.
Laboratoire Astelia have recently completed a collaboration with French recruitment agency, Pôle Emploi to supply 1000 litres of BODYGUARD Hand Sanitiser to the Alpes du Sud Hospital and their front line staff.
“We are aware of the need for our hand sanitiser, made in our L'Atelier in Manosque, if we are able to keep up with the booming demand, it is thanks to our teams who continue to work every day to manufacture our sanitiser. Without them, we would have been unable to do this operation” explains Celia Nicolosi, president of Astelia Laboratories and creator of BODYGUARD Hand Sanitiser.
“We want to join the citizen effort in the fight against this epidemic we deliver to pharmacies, retirement homes,… every day. We see the difficulties they have in getting hand sanitiser. They call us from Clermond-Ferrand, Brittany… You can’t be complacent, you have to participate.” elaborates Celia Nicolosi.
HOW DOES BODYGUARD ANTI MOSQUITO SPRAY WORK ?
The active ingredient we use in BODYGUARD to repel Mosquitos was created by the world famous French laboratory, MERCK and is called IR3535.
IR3535 has been successfully used in insect repellents for over 30 years, and scientific studies have proven just how effective it is at repelling mosquitos and many other insects! The tests carried out on IR3535 efficiency were conducted both in the field and a laboratory. These test results showed that IR3535 can leave you safe and protected from Mosquito for 8 hours....so important when you plan to spend the day outdoors!
IR3535 comes highly recommend by the WHO ( World Health Organisation) for its efficiency against Mosquitos. It is also recommended by the CDC ( Centers for Disease Control) and EPA ( Environmental Protection Agency)'
A bit about the Environment....
Our active ingredient respects the environment and take of you skin and health. It has an excellent 'toxicological and eco - toxicological profile so in other words, its not toxic and does not build up in the environment. For us protecting the environment is so important.
WHY IS PROTECTION FROM MOSQUITOS SO IMPORTANT?
We created BODYGUARD with protection from Mosquitos in mind. It was important for us to make sure that we included the most effective active ingredient for repelling the worlds most dangerous mosquito so we could keep you safe and protected wherever you are in the world.
Being bitten by a mosquito is really not pleasant, however there is a more important reason to protect your skin.
We all love to explore and have exotic holidays, but around the world Mosquitoes carry a big danger. We have all heard of the Zika virus carried by Mosquitoes is Brazil, but these types of diseases are common in many other countries with warmer climates. In Africa Mosquitoes carry Malaria and in India, Dengue Fever!
Our Bodyguard sprays contain an active ingredient called IR3535 insect repellent, which is scientifically proven to protect you from Mosquito bites wherever you are in the world.
BODYGUARD does not contain harsh chemicals and is very gentle on the skin. It is the perfect choose for children over 12 months and is completely safe for pregnant women.
One application will last up to 8 hours, however it is absolutely fine to apply BODYGUARD repeatedly, right up until bedtime…as you may just love the smell!
