BUG PROTECH
outdoor blend {4-ounce spray}
Product Summary
This is a gentle but very effective blend of essential oils with several seasons of successful use to its credit. Bug ProTech is safe for ages 3 and up.* A naturally non-toxic, hypoallergenic base of grapeseed oil helps Bug ProTech stay on the surface of the skin longer than water-based products that can evaporate quickly, requiring more frequent re-application or causing the repellent to become ineffective altogether.*
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. Bug ProTech contains no added chemicals of any kind; just 100% pure essential oils.*
Ingredients
Eucalyptus citriodora (Eucalyptus Citriodora), Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree), Vitis vinifera (Grapeseed)
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
Eucalyptus Citriodora: Has a high citronella content, making it a fantastic natural insecticide. The scent is believed to confuse insects, making it difficult for them to find a host. In the likelihood of a bite, Eucalyptus Citriodora also doubles as an antiseptic.*
Tea Tree: Has been found to be an effective insect repellent. It has a very strong and distinctive smell while containing terpenes that repel insects. As it is anti-fungal and antiseptic, Tea Tree can also be helpful if you are too late in applying as a natural repellent.**
Uses
TOPICAL
Lightly spray areas of exposed skin and spread evenly with hands. Do not spray directly onto the face; spray on hands and rub on face, being careful not to get too close to the eyes or in the mouth. Repeat as needed every 3 to 4 hours or if you notice a mosquito landing on your skin. Can also be sprayed into the environment to repel insects while outdoors. *
For Pets: Spray lightly on hands and then apply to animal’s coat. Do not use on cats, birds, or small mammals like rabbits/etc.*
