Size: 60g

Ingredients:
Citronella, lavender, lemongrass, tea tree, and eucalyptus essential oils; shea butter; mango butter; coconut oil; local beeswax.

Why These Botanicals:

• Citronella — A time-honoured natural insect repellent that masks the scents which attract mosquitoes. Its sharp citrus aroma effectively deters flying insects while refreshing the senses.
• Lavender — Gently repels moths, midges, and mosquitoes while calming the nervous system. Its natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties help soothe bites or skin irritation.
• Lemongrass — High in citral and geraniol, compounds proven to repel insects, while imparting a bright, clean scent that revitalises both body and mind.
• Tea Tree — Offers antibacterial and anti-fungal protection while repelling insects that are drawn to open skin. Helps to heal bites and prevent infection.
• Eucalyptus — Known for its crisp, camphorous scent that confuses mosquitoes’ sense of smell and keeps them away. Also refreshes and clears the skin.
• Shea & Mango Butters — Rich in vitamins and fatty acids to restore and protect the skin’s barrier while offering a smooth, creamy base.
• Coconut Oil & Local Beeswax — Lock in moisture, create a breathable shield against the elements, and ensure the oils remain effective for hours outdoors.

All skin types. Ideal for outdoor activities, gardening, camping, and summer evenings.

Directions:
