Natural Insect Repellent Spray

From Office Blend to Outdoor Essential

This formula has a story that sells. Originally created by our Product Manager Sarah seven years ago, it gained a loyal fan in our MD, Andrew, after a group hike up Ben Nevis. Of the entire party, only two used the blend - Andrew included - and they were the only ones who returned bite-free. Since that day, he’s insisted this repellent deserved a wider audience. Now, it’s finally here: a time-tested, plant-powered formula your clients will love and trust.

Why Recommend a Natural Insect Repellent to Clients?

Many commercial insect repellents use DEET and other synthetic chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin and disrupt the natural skin microbiome. As an aromatherapist, you can offer a plant-powered alternative that aligns with holistic, skin-friendly principles while still delivering reliable protection. This formula bridges practical need with therapeutic benefit, making it ideal for clients travelling, walking, gardening, or seeking a cleaner lifestyle.

How the Natural Insect Repellent Formula Works

This carefully balanced synergy uses essential oils selected for their traditional insect-repelling and cooling properties:

• Cymbopogon Winterianus (Citronella) & Cymbopogon Citratus (Lemongrass): Widely used in natural repellent formulations due to their citronellal and geranial content
• Mentha Piperita (Peppermint): Cooling and refreshing, with insect-deterring menthol
• Lavandula Latifolia (Spike Lavender): Combines insect-repelling action with soothing properties
• Eucalyptus Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus) & Cedrus Atlantica (Cedarwood): Enhance efficacy and aromatic complexity
• Organic Apricot & Jojoba Oils: Provide lightweight skin nourishment and fast absorption
• Tocopherol (Vitamin E): Protects both the skin and the integrity of the formula
• Amethyst: Encourages energetic harmony and supports therapeutic intention

Recommended Use for Therapists

Instruct clients to shake well before each use to activate the essential oils and crystal energy. Apply to exposed skin areas (arms, legs, ankles, neck) and spread evenly. Ideal before walking, gardening, or time outdoors. Reapply after swimming, sweating, or prolonged exposure. Avoid contact with eyes or irritated skin.

Therapists may also wish to incorporate this product into summer wellness packages, travel care kits, or post-treatment retail displays.

Is It Suitable for All Clients?

Yes - this formula is suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. Always patch test before widespread use, particularly for younger clients or those with a history of sensitivity to essential oils. Use under guidance for children or during pregnancy.
