Our handcrafted Bug Begone spray is a plant-powered, skin-loving shield against mosquitoes, ticks, no-see-ums, gnats, flies, and other winged nuisances. Made in small batches with organic and wildcrafted ingredients, this botanical blend keeps bugs away—without harsh chemicals or artificial fragrances.
Why It Works:
•Witch Hazel Distillate – A gentle astringent that cools and tones skin while helping deliver the herbal actives deep into the surface.
•Rosemary Hydrosol – Naturally antibacterial and refreshing, this aromatic hydrosol helps soothe bites while enhancing the repellent properties.
•Jojoba Oil – A lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that mimics your skin’s natural sebum, locking in moisture and extending the spray’s staying power.
•Vegetable Glycerin – Hydrates and softens skin while acting as a natural humectant and dispersant.
•Polysorbate 20 – A gentle emulsifier that helps blend essential oils evenly into the water base for consistent, safe use.
•Optiphen Plus – A paraben-free, formaldehyde-free preservative to ensure your spray stays fresh and safe without synthetic additives.
Essential Oil Blend:
•Citronella – A time-tested natural repellent with a crisp, citrusy scent bugs can’t stand.
•Eucalyptus – Adds cooling relief and enhances effectiveness against mosquitoes and flies.
•Rose Geranium – Known for its ability to deter ticks while offering a delicate floral note.
•Catnip Essential Oil – Studies show it’s more effective than DEET against mosquitoes—plus, it’s totally non-toxic.
•Lavender – Calms the skin and nervous system while gently warding off moths, gnats, and no-see-ums.
•Vanilla Oleoresin – Offers a warm, sweet aroma while helping extend the spray’s staying power on your skin.
