Collection: Natural bug spray

Our natural bug spray started out with a mosquito bite. You see, Jen is allergic to mosquito bites, and could not find anything that was either natural enough or that actually worked.

Eventually, she came upon a formula that actually keeps the bugs away, doesn’t smell like bug spray, and doesn’t feel like bug spray.

The key ingredient is lemon eucalyptus essential oil, also known as Eucalyptus Citriodora. The CDC and EPA have shown that lemon eucalyptus oil is as effective as DEET, but without the nasty side effects. We then add in other essential oils that bugs hate, like lavender, lemongrass, and peppermint, to make a super effective all natural bug spray.

We put these essential oils in a base of witch hazel (which is slightly but repellent itself) and aloe for a spray that you can’t stop smelling and can’t leave behind.

Our bug spray is packaged in aluminum bottles so that you can take it with you wherever you go.

Because of the eucalyptus and peppermint essential oils, we suggest using this on children over the age of 3.

See what the hype is about, and this summer, make mosquitoes Wish An Itch Would.

By popular demand, we also turned this scent into a candle, and we just happened to notice that, as we were photographing it, that the bugs were staying away. Wish An Itch Would is also available in a soy wax wood wick candle and soy wax melts.
