It's also non-comedogenic (non-clogging) and often used for acne, psoriasis, sunburn, chapped skin, sensitive skin, and more.

 

Disclaimer: All herbs and essential oils used in this product are known natural bug repellents including but not limited to mosquitos, black flies (gnats), wasps and bees. These ingredients are particularly most effective in incredibly high concentrations. Since our bug spray is meant to be used in excess, we do not exceed beyond the recommended 1.5% dilution. For most users this dilution should be high enough to function as a proper bug repellent.

The best part about this fragrance is that it can be worn either as a regular perfume, or as a bug spray! If you are using this product as a bug spray rather than merely a fragrance, here are a few notes you'll want to keep in mind: 
 

• Opt for the 2 oz bottle instead of the 10 ml roller bottle. The dilution percentage in our 2 oz bottle is carefully calculated for long-term full body use. Not to mention it will go a lot further!
   
• Be sure you are applying this product thoroughly, evenely, and not leaving any area ignored. "One of the most common mistakes people make when it comes to bug spray is not applying it thoroughly enough." -Joseph Conlon, of the American Mosquito Control Association.
   
• If you are an avid sweater be sure to frequently apply this product as bugs love the smell of sweat. And if you go swimming, reapply immediately since bugs, like mosquitos, are very attracted to the water. 
   
• It's often reccomended one use sunscreens when wearing higher concentrated products like this, especially when used in excess! We reccomend using an unscented sunscreen as unscented sunscreens will reduce the risk of attractig mosquitos as some are made and/or scented with fruit oils. And be sure to apply sunscreen first; this will reduce the risk of wiping away the bug spray, or diluting it beyond functionality.
   
• HELPFUL TIP: Rumor has it, if you want a stronger, more potent bug deterrent try adding 100% pure lemon juice to the recipe (3-5 drops to 10ml; 18-30 drops in 2oz). Mix well before using! Don't know if you like the scent or feel of added lemon juice? Don't risk ruining an entire batch of your fragrance! Instead poor a small spoonful of this fragrance into a bowl, mix with a drop or two of lemon juice, then apply to the back of your hand or wrist as a test run to see how it interacts with your skin, and your senses.
