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.
