Insect Repellent
Young Living’s Insect Repellent is tested to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas using only 100 percent naturally derived, plant-based ingredients.
Here in Pennsylvania the mosquitos are horrible. As you can imagine, insect repellent is a MUST and is used liberally during all of our summer activities. Sporting events, outdoor concerts, BBQs, picnics, hiking, camping, kayaking…if it takes place outdoors, you’ll want insect repellent. Since I need to use it so often, I was really looking for a more natural, toxin free solution without DEET or synthetic chemicals. As always, I first look to Young Living and as usual, they have the perfect solution.
Pure sesame oil and a carefully selected blend of essential oils traditionally used for their bug-repellent properties come together to make up all 99 percent of the active ingredients in this formula. The other 1 percent? Vitamin E. That means you can use it on your little ones and not worry about the synthetic chemicals used in many traditional repellents. You’ll also love the pleasant, citrusy aroma and smooth, non-greasy, non-sticky application.
So whether you’re spending time in the backyard or the backwoods, you can feel great knowing you have a pure, plant-based way to protect yourself and your loved ones.
