If you’re looking for extra pest protection, this Don’t Bug Me Roll On, with natural ingredients that make it a safe bug repellent for home use, is the perfect bug-deterring addition.
What’s in This All-Natural Bug Repellant Recipe?
Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil
This is your main bug-fighting ingredient. A major component of Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil’s chemical makeup is citronella, which has the unique ability to mask the aromas that bugs are attracted to.
Clove Essential Oil
Clove Essential Oil not only gives your Don’t Bug Me Roll On a slight spicy fall flare, but also boosts to your repellant’s bug-fighting abilities thanks to a special something called eugenol. Engenol, a natural chemical that irritates bugs, is one of the main constituents of this oil. Science is cool, I’m telling you!
Fractionated Coconut Oil
We can’t forget about our handy dandy carrier oil! Adding fractionated coconut oil, or a carrier oil of your choice, is important as it allows you to dilute your lemon eucalyptus and clove essential oils so they’re safe for you and your skin.
