Created when my husband asked for something to combat mosquitos, this goat milk soap combines exfoliating ground walnut shells and bug repelling essential oils.

  • Features

    citronella | lemongrass | thyme
    cedarwood | chamomile | peppermint
    geranium |  bentonite clay
    exfoliating ground walnut shells

  • Smells like

    bright citrus and citronella with notes of cedarwood

  • Essential oils

    each ounce of soap contains ~8 drops of therapeutic grade essential oils (~1.3% total dilution)

  • Carrier oil

    EOs are mixed with a grapeseed oil and calendula flower tincture before incorporating with soap

  • Praise for our parts: 

    (what folks have to say about our ingredients)
    chamomile - aromatic compounds released by chamomile have the potential to deter pests
    cedarwood - has insecticidal properties of its own for pest control
    citronella - has historically been used for repelling mosquitoes and is currently a registered insect repellent with the EPA
    geranium - fresh geranium oil is toxic to mosquitoes and can deter their bites
    lemongrass - like citronella, contains citral and citronellal; has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties
    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
    thyme - has mosquito-repellent properties that even surpassed DEET in one study; also helps repel chiggers and ticks
    bentonite clay - is filled with minerals and is thought to absorb toxins and poisons that get trapped in the skin
    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

  • Safety Considerations:

    (associated with the pure extract, but included for informational purposes)
    chamomile - may cause dermatitis in some; avoid use while pregnant
    citronella - may irritate the skin; avoid use while pregnant
    geranium - can cause sensitivity in some people and is thought to balance the hormonal system; avoid use while pregnant
    lemongrass & peppermint - consult your doctor before use, especially if you have a medical condition, or are taking medication; avoid use on hypersensitive or damaged skin, and on children less than 2 years of age
    thyme (red) - should be avoid during pregnancy, or if a history of high blood pressure exists; red thyme
    contains toxic phenols (carvacrol and thymol) that can irritate mucus membranes, cause skin irritation
    it is highly recommended to consult your doctor before using essential oils while pregnant or for children under 10 years old
