BUG OFF! Essential Oil Roll-On
I wanted to post this product spotlight yesterday but my boyfriend planned a surprise date so I was forced to hold off until today! Unfortunately, I was unable to discover what he had planned because we had to pick up family from the hospital instead (the cancer has shrunk - thank goodness)! The delay for our date may take a little while but at least I am able to post the product spotlight today!
If you remember, last weekend while working in the garden at Wild Rose Acres I spent as much time swatting mosquitos as I did actually gardening! The itch was unbearable and my legs are dotted with scabs from the bites… I definitely do not want a repeat of this experience the next time I get to the property! So I did a little research and found a product that I’m very excited to try - BUG OFF! Essential Oil Roll-On from OrganicCrushShop!
As usual, I chose to feature a product from OrganicCrushShop in particular because they are a small business located in the state of Wisconsin - my home state. I am continuing to purchase “locally” by at least containing my consumerism within the state. Also, I’ve ordered products from this store before (see Product Spotlight Series #4 - Vanilla Bean Lip Balm) and found their products to match the descriptions and work effectively. I will gladly continue to support small businesses I’ve shopped at before because I know are reputable!
I also enjoy shopping here because they only use high-quality ingredients from reputable sources and almost all of them are certified organic. All of the butters and carrier oils used in their products are organic, raw, and unrefined.
This bug repellant in particular contains all organic ingredients including:
- Fractionated Coconut Oil
- an Essential Oil Blend of:
<ul> <li>Citronella</li> <li>Eucalyptus</li> <li>Citriodora</li> <li>Eucalyptus</li> <li>Globulus</li> <li>Cedarwood</li> <li>Lemongrass</li> <li>Lavender</li> <li>Tea Tree</li> <li>Peppermint</li> <li>Rosemary</li> <li>Basil</li> <li>Patchouli</li> </ul>
Mosquitos are one of my most hated creatures… I understand how important they may be for other species, but goodness at what cost?! I figured that all I could do was either stay inside and avoid them completely or find a healthy way to repel them. Since starting a homestead means practically living outside… repelling them was really my only option!
At only $9.95 for .33 oz, I hope this bug repellant lasts long enough to be worth the purchase. Regardless, it has a refreshing scent and is effective against mosquitoes, fleas, ticks, lice, and other insects so I think I’ve made the right choice!
P.S. I’ve decided to hold off on starting another T-shirt fundraising campaign for a little while. We still have interest but not enough support to make it a complete success. However, we will give it another go sometime in the future!
