Deet Free Insect Repellent

In recent years, insect repellents that contain deet have become controversial. This is due to the fact that substantial amounts of deet can damage clothing and equipment—not to mention the effects of prolonged skin contact. Moreover, there are a number of repellents on the market today which offer users equal or better protection from mosquitoes and other biting insects without the side effects. Of these deet-free repellents, our own formula for Deet Free Insect Repellent contains ingredients derived from citronella and lemongrass — two oils that are well-known for their insect-repelling properties. In addition to this, our formula features Vitamin B1 (a natural odor neutralizer), garlic extract (an ingredient which helps protect you from mosquitos feeding on your blood), tea tree oil (another ingredient with insect-repelling properties) and soybean oil (which helps strengthen the skin). If you are going outside, especially in warmer climates, where mosquitoes, ticks and other insects can be a problem, you need Deet Free Insect Repellent. It is the most natural way to keep insects from biting you. This is the perfect product for people who cannot use the common insect repellent DEET (for example, for those with severe allergies or who have small children).

Deet Free Insect Repellent

Introduction

Sometimes it’s nice to get out into nature and enjoy the sun. After all, getting out and enjoying the fresh air is good for you. Whether you’re going hiking or camping, it is a good idea to protect yourself from insects that can bite or sting you. One of the best ways to do this is with insect repellent. You might think that insect repellent has only one ingredient in it, but that isn’t always true. If you buy insect repellent from stores then they commonly contain a chemical called DEET. This chemical was initially developed by the US Army during World War II as a pesticide against malaria-carrying mosquitos who were infecting soldiers stationed in jungles around Asia and Africa at tropical bases such as Okinawa Island (now known as Japan).

Make Your Own Deet Free Insect Repellent

Fortunately, you can make your own deet-free insect repellent with essential oils.

Essential oils are safe for the environment and your family. They are natural, effective and easy to use. Plus they’re easy to make and store!

Why should you use Deet Free Insect Repellent?

Why should you use Deet Free Insect Repellent?

  • It’s safe for the environment. DEET is a chemical that can harm plants and animals, but Deet Free Insect Repellent doesn’t contain it.
  • It’s safe for children. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends against using DEET-containing products on kids under 2 years old, but Deet Free Insect Repellent is safe to use on babies as young as six months.

Things to consider when Making your own Deet Free Insect Repellent

  • You can use any essential oil.
  • You can use any carrier oil.
  • You can mix and match the two, to create your own custom blend. (+)

For example: Peppermint, Lavender and Eucalyptus are all great choices for repelling insects on their own, but combine them together and you’ve got a powerful triple threat! Or maybe you’re not so keen on using eucalyptus? That’s OK too! Just choose one or two of these oils instead of all three. The possibilities are endless.”

What you will need

  • 1 cup of witch hazel
  • 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol
  • 10-20 drops of essential oils (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of water
  • 1/2 cup of vegetable glycerin (optional)
  • 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel (optional)

Using a deet free insect repellent has many benefits. If you are looking for an alternative to the chemicals in commercial products, then this is a great option. It’s also much safer for your health and the environment because it does not contain deet.

Using just two ingredients, you can make an effective insect repellent that is good for your skin, eyes and nervous system. The ingredients are:

  • A few tablespoons of coconut oil (you’ll need more if using on children)
  • A few drops of lemon eucalyptus essential oil

Conclusion

It is important to consider your safety when making deet free insect repellent. While there are many benefits to this alternative, care must be taken not to inhale any fumes or get the mixture in your eyes. You should also store it in an air tight container away from children and pets
