AFTER-BITE
outdoor blend {AromaStix}

Product Summary

After-Bite is designed for topical application to assist with the itching and swelling that develops around the area of an insect bite.* When scratched repeatedly, a bite area can bleed and the skin can become abraded, allowing infection to enter the bite. After-Bite disinfects, heals wounds, and promotes detoxification of the toxin injected by the insect. *

Many commercial insect repellents contain DEET, Picaridin, or IR3535, and are toxic. They’re also not recommended for small children or those with compromised immune systems.* Natural repellents, on the other hand, are a much safer and more effective alternative. After-Bite contains no added chemicals of any kind; just 100% pure essential oils.*

Ingredients

Pogostemon cablin (Patchouli), Lavandula angustifolia (Lavender Vera), Picea mariana (Black Spruce), Citrus aurantium var. amara (Neroli), Vetiveria zizanioides (Vetiver), Ocimum basilicum (Sweet Basil), Cocos Nucifera (Fractionated Coconut)

Safety Group: 2

Generally regarded as safe when properly diluted and used as directed with children over the age of 3 years, and while pregnant starting in the 2nd trimester.*

Ingredient Highlights

  • Patchouli: Highly effective for keeping insects at a healthy distance. It also has great antiphlogistic and antiseptic properties, so in the event that you are bitten by an insect, it can help to take down the inflammation as well as protect the bite from developing an infection.*

  • Lavender Vera: Helps immensely when it comes to insect bites. With its antiseptic properties, it will help destroy germs that have the potential for infection while soothing the itch and speeding up the healing process.*

  • Vetiver: Has high anti-inflammatory properties, so it’s found to be very soothing, and can calm several types on inflammation. It also contains cicatrizant agents which help with the reduction of scars and dark marks sometimes left behind after a bite.*

  • Sweet Basil: A great oil for insect bites as it calms and reduces inflammation, reduces itching, and helps to destroy germs that could lead to an infection.*

Uses

TOPICAL
