Essential oils extracted from plants are common and popularly used as an alternative to marketed synthetic repellents. Thus, the present work proposes to carry out a systematic review in the literature on the use of essential oils in the analysis and development of repellent formulations. A search for scientific articles using the descriptors “Repellent *”, “Plant *”, “Essential * oil *” and “Cosmetic *” was carried out in the databases: SciELO and PubMed®. Selected publications were analyzed for country of origin; families studied; parts of plants most employed; extraction methods employed and type of repellent formulations developed. The search resulted in a total of 241 articles, mostly from the year 2015. We found species of the most different families, especially the Asteraceae. In addition, most of the publications originate in China and Brazil, with the leaf being the most used plant part and hydrodistillation the most prevalent extraction method. However, representative research on repellent vegetable oils is associated with the disclosure of only five cosmetic repellent formulations, which would possibly have greater safety of use and lower market value. Thus, through the scientific studies analyzed, it is concluded that the Brazilian cosmetic market needs to take full advantage of the investigated and proven properties for insect repellent essential oils, which is a promising field for the development of new products.
