Natural Organic Bug Away Insect Deterrent

Now that we are nearing summer and bug season, wanted you all to know that we have a natural organic solution to help keep the bugs/bites away from your body.

Natural Organic Bug Away Insect Deterrent is perfect for the summer-time swarms. 4 oz. spray bottle and 16 oz. refill bottle available.

Ingredients:
Water, natural lavender essential oil, castile liquid soap made with organic oils, essential oils of citronella, eucalyptus, catnip, cedarwood, lemongrass, lavender, listsea cubeba, tea tree, patchouli and cinnamon leaf essential oil.

Note: The FDA does not allow the use of the word "REPELLENT" on any natural insect deterrents.

Catnip:
Researchers report that nepetalactone, the essential oil in catnip that gives the plant its characteristic odor, is about ten times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than DEET — the compound used in most commercial insect repellents.

Cedarwood:
antiseptic, relieves skin inflammation, bug bites

Cinnamon Leaf:
shows promise as a great-smelling, environmentally friendly pesticide, with the ability to kill mosquito larvae, according to a new study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, a peer-reviewed journal of the American Chemical Society, the world’s largest scientific society. The researchers also expect that cinnamon oil could be a good mosquito repellant, though they have not yet tested it against adult mosquitoes.

Citronella:
Insect deterrent, keeps away mosquitoes, ticks, fleas and other pesky insects.

Eucalyptus:
insect bites and rashes, antiseptic

Lemongrass:
Lemongrass oil, which is closely related to citronella, repels a greater variety of pests than most natural "one-scented" oil mixtures.

Patchouli:
repels bugs, and relieves insect bites.

Tea Tree:
Rashes and insect bites.
