The salves that provide a lot of mosquito protection are these:
any of the OUTDOOR
rosemary
peppermint
rose geranium
beautyberry tincture
All of the calendula salves offer deterrence.
Most of the product derivatives which discourage mosquitoes also help alleviate pain!
Unsure exactly why but perhaps the strength of the oil gives it great performance function in acute ways. There are ways to view pestilence which captures both these categories!

for memory
Ah Rosemary! That’s for remembrance! (Shakespeare). Yes, aroma-therapeutically, the rosemary salve enhances memory & mental stamina. A scientific study found that the antioxidants in rosemary can alter the course of age-related cognitive decline! This lotion is excellent also for extremely dry or troubled skin, to strengthen the scalp, for hair loss and dandruff. It is incidentally a sound mosquito repellant. Headache resolution, wounds. The orange within is warming and also anti-inflammatory & anti-microbial. 2.5 oz.
I prepare the rosemary variety without almond oil for those with allergy. It is made instead with organic flax seed oil. And calendulas, of course. All the salves contain Calendula.

THIS IS JUST A PICTURE.
The lovely calendula flowers capture healing energy of the sun – only look at the colors! They are grown organically in Southwest Florida. The calendula tinctures ‘cure’ for 2 to 3 years, so there is much potency collected from the flower into the alcohol. The alcohol dissipates upon being blended with the organic oils. I do not filter out all the calendula petals. This is intentional. If you are lucky, you may find one or two inside your salve!
