The Significance of 108 Beads: More Than Just a Number

Jun 05, 2025Kim Wiseman

At incognito®, we’re always innovating to bring you natural, effective ways to stay protected from biting insects.

Our latest launch, the Insect Repellent Necklace, blends sustainability, functionality, and tradition — offering up to 36 days (864 hours) of continuous protection with two refillable capsules against mosquitoes, midges, and other insects. This hand-crafted wooden beaded necklace comes with a refillable repellent capsule plus a bonus additional capsule, making it an eco-friendly and effective alternative to chemical-based protection.

As a certified B Corp, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Each necklace has captured 83g of CO2 through photosynthesis, reinforcing our mission to reduce environmental impact while providing long-lasting, natural insect protection.

But this isn’t just any necklace — its 108 beads carry deep meaning in spiritual traditions worldwide.

Why 108 Beads?

The number 108 is sacred in many cultures and belief systems. In Buddhism and Hinduism, mala prayer beads are used in meditation and mantra chanting, often consisting of 108 beads to promote focus and spiritual connection. In yoga, 108 is said to represent the energy channels (nadis) that converge at the heart chakra, symbolising balance and enlightenment. Even in astronomy, the distance between the Earth and Sun is approximately 108 times the Sun’s diameter — further reinforcing its cosmic significance.

A Meaningful and Practical Accessory

Whether you wear our Insect Repellent Necklace for protection, mindfulness, or style, it’s designed for everyone. The refillable repellent capsules provide reliable defence against biting insects, making it an ideal companion for travel, outdoor adventures, or everyday wear. Plus, its biodegradable, resealable storage ensures capsules stay fresh for longer.

This unique blend of tradition, sustainability, and innovation offers a natural way to stay protected while embracing a meaningful, timeless design.
