  • A second application may be applied of the same blend or an additional blend approximately 10 minutes after the first application.
  • Won't leave your hands feeling greasy or oily.

Educational Formulation Insights

The following information is for general wellness and educational purposes only.

This blend relies on aromatic compounds traditionally used in personal care to help deter insects through scent interaction rather than physical or chemical action. Each oil contributes a specific aromatic or skin-sensory role:

  • Basil
    Traditionally used for its sharp, herbaceous aroma that insects tend to avoid. Commonly associated with surface-level scent deterrence on exposed skin.

  • Cedarwood
    Known for its dry, woody aroma that lingers longer on the skin. Often used to provide a grounding base note that supports sustained aromatic presence.

  • Kunzea
    Traditionally used in outdoor-focused blends for its fresh, green scent profile. Supports overall aromatic complexity that insects find disruptive.

  • Lavender
    Commonly used in skin care for its gentle nature while contributing a floral-herbal aroma that insects tend to avoid.

  • Lemongrass
    Widely used in personal care products for outdoor comfort. Its sharp, citrus-grass aroma is traditionally associated with scent-based insect deterrence.

  • Lemon Eucalyptus
    Known for its strong, fresh aroma that helps create an environment insects find unfavorable, particularly on exposed areas like arms and legs.

  • Peppermint
    Provides a cooling, minty sensation and a bold aroma that contributes to overall scent disruption on the skin.

  • Rosemary
    Traditionally used for its penetrating herbal aroma, supporting the blend’s ability to remain noticeable during outdoor activity.

  • Thuja (Arborvitae)
    Offers a crisp, green-woody note that enhances aromatic persistence and complements other outdoor-oriented oils.

  • Thyme
    Known for its strong, herbaceous scent, contributing to the blend’s overall aromatic strength and deterrent character.

Together, these oils create a layered aromatic experience that supports outdoor comfort by helping discourage insects from close proximity to the body, particularly on exposed skin areas.
