Enjoy the outdoors comfortably with our Outdoor Bug Shield & Mosquito Spray, a plant-powered, DEET-free bug repellent.
Formulated to protect your skin without harsh chemicals or synthetic pesticides, our Outdoor Bug Shield provides effective, plant-based defense against mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, and biting flies. Handcrafted on a refreshing base of witch hazel, distilled water, and skin-nourishing jojoba oil, this fine mist spray absorbs easily without leaving a sticky or greasy residue. Infused with pure essential oils of lemon eucalyptus, citronella, cedarwood, geranium, lavender, and tea tree, it shields your body while cooling and soothing exposed skin.
Why It Works
This DEET-free outdoor mist provides multi-layered botanical protection:
-
Repels Mosquitoes & Biting Pests: Lemon Eucalyptus, Citronella, and Geranium Essential Oils mask human scents to keep flying insects away.
-
Deters Ticks & Crawling Insects: Cedarwood and Geranium provide natural barrier protection against ticks and gnats.
-
Cools & Soothes Irritated Skin: Witch Hazel, Lavender, and Tea Tree soothe minor skin heat, redness, and bite discomfort.
-
Non-Sticky Hydration: Jojoba Oil seals botanicals onto the skin while keeping application light, fresh, and non-greasy.
Ingredient Spotlight: Why These Ingredients Work
-
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel): A natural botanical astringent and emulsifier; tones skin, cools surface irritation, and provides a lightweight, non-sticky base for essential oils.
-
Aqua (Distilled Water): Pure, mineral-free water that hydrates skin, dilutes botanical extracts for safe topical misting, and allows quick evaporation without residue.
-
Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil: A plant-derived liquid wax ester that nourishes skin, locks in moisture, and slows down the evaporation rate of active insect-repelling terpenes.
-
Corymbia Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus) Essential Oil: High in natural PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol) and citronellal; widely recognized as one of the most effective plant-based insect repellents against mosquitoes and biting flies.
-
Cedrus Atlantica (Cedarwood) Essential Oil: Rich in cedrol and cedrene; repels ticks, fleas, and crawling insects while providing a warm, grounding botanical aroma.
-
Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Essential Oil: Abundant in geraniol and citronellol; provides strong natural protection against ticks and gnats while soothing skin irritation.
-
Cymbopogon Nardus (Citronella) Essential Oil: Packed with citronellal and geraniol; masks human carbon dioxide and lactic acid scents that attract mosquitoes and flying insects.
-
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Essential Oil: Rich in linalool; soothes existing bug bites, calms skin redness, and adds a floral aroma to the blend.
-
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Essential Oil: High in terpinen-4-ol; provides natural antibacterial protection, calms itchiness, and deters biting insects.
Why These Ingredients Work Together (Synergistic Power)
-
Multi-Insect Repellent Shield: Lemon Eucalyptus, Citronella, Geranium, and Cedarwood work in synergy to disrupt insect sensory receptors, repelling mosquitoes, ticks, gnats, biting flies, and no-see-ums.
-
Extended Volatility Control: Fast-evaporating essential terpenes are stabilized by Jojoba Oil, creating a protective shield that stays on the skin longer without leaving a greasy or sticky film.
-
Repels & Soothes Simultaneously: While active terpenes repel pests, Witch Hazel, Lavender, and Tea Tree instantly cool, soothe, and calm minor skin irritation, redness, or existing bites.
