what folks have to say about our ingredients

Praise for our parts

citronella

has historically been used for repelling mosquitoes and is currently a registered insect repellent with the EPA

lemongrass

like citronella, contains citral and citronellal; has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties

thyme

effective at reducing acne-causing bacteria on the skin;

cedarwood

has insecticidal properties of its own for pest control

chamomile

helps with redness, itching, and irritation; may speed up healing and recovery;

peppermint

a 2011 study found that Peppermint oil offered 100% protection against mosquito bites for up to 150 mins when applied topically; is also used to soothe inflammation, irritation and itchiness on skin and scalp

geranium

fresh geranium oil is toxic to mosquitoes and can deter their bites

bentonite clay

is filled with minerals and is thought to absorb toxins and poisons that get trapped in the skin

ground walnut

adds exfoliation

grapeseed oil

thanks to its vitamin E and linoleic acid content, grapeseed oil can lighten skin discolorations like acne scars and sunspots; help speed the healing process and decrease the formation of keloid scars (raised, enlarged scarring commonly caused by acne)

calendula flowers

are rich in antioxidant compounds, have anti-inflammatory properties, can reduce sensitivity, soothe irritation, keep skin hydrated and help protect from the effects of UV exposure

free from SLS/SLES, PEG, soy, phthalate, paraben, and sulfates- cruelty free (not tested on animals - just husbands)
