Question: I would love to find an all-natural Bug Spray that works and is safe for Everyone…Babies, Grandma, Grandpa and Pets etc…
Answer: We at Steep Me pride ourselves on the quality and effectiveness of all our self-help options. we wanted to be sure we were able to make a great alternative to the chemical laden options that are ….The “”bug spray””…. We have all been there – having a wonderful day – playing with friends and family – just enjoying the outdoors and here comes the evening and the annoying little buggers that like to sample your wares start to emerge…I hated bug spray just for the sheer yuckiness my skin felt and the strong smell of the Deet. But at some point, you would have to finally give in and apply it to keep from being sampled on too much. Ugggg…well it worked While you were out…. but there was no way around it…as soon as you got home…into the shower you went…just to get that nasty stuff off your skin.
Why: We wanted to make a great alternative to that horrible experience of conventional Bug Spray. Something that is Great for the skin and can be effective in a natural herbal kind of way. Something that is barely scented and is perfectly safe for everyone. From Babies to the Elderly – this super safe and light smelling product will be OK for Everyone. The Carrier Oil of Sesame is very moisturizing for your skin, and you cannot even tell you are wearing it…so NO Shower!!!
We start our steeping process of the wildcrafted herbs in August. We soak them for 9 months to ensure we are getting every tiny bit of health benefits out of the herbs to ensure the effectiveness of the spray. In April we then take each of our glass half gallon jars and we strain out all the herbs. We then fill each spray bottle by hand adding the correct amount of sesame oil to ensure we have perfect concentration in each bottle. This will make sure the spray is of the right consistency and will be a great all-natural product for you and your family.
We have sourced all our herbs to be Wildcrafted. We based this blend on Organic Sesame Oil, and the product is completely Vegan. Sesame oil is packed with health benefits for the skin due to its rich composition of nutrients and antioxidants. Sesame oil is deeply hydrating, helping to lock in moisture and combat dryness, making your skin feel soft and supple. It contains vitamin E, which helps protect your skin from free radicals and environmental damage, reducing signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines. With anti-inflammatory properties, sesame oil can calm irritated skin and promote healing for minor cuts or scrapes. While not a substitute for sunscreen, sesame oil offers mild protection against harmful UV rays and when massaged into the skin, sesame oil can help remove toxins and impurities, giving you a refreshed glow. Next, we included Lemon grass. Lemongrass is a fantastic natural option for bug spray due to its strong citrus scent, which contains citronella—a compound known for repelling mosquitoes, flies, ants, ticks, fleas, and gnats. It works by masking attractants like carbon dioxide and lactic acid that draw insects to humans. We also included Catnip. The active compound in catnip, nepetalactone, is highly effective as a natural insect repellent, particularly against mosquitoes. It can be as effective as DEET but in an all-natural way. Eucalyptus was included because it contains a compound called PMD (para-menthane-3,8-diol), which is highly effective at repelling mosquitoes and other insects. Eucalyptus has antibacterial and antifungal properties, which can help keep your skin healthy while warding off bugs. We added Calendula because it is a versatile plant with anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antimicrobial properties make it effective in repelling insects.
Next, we add Rosemary. Rosemary contains compounds like cineole, camphor, and borneol, which are known to repel insects such as mosquitoes, flies, and ants. The pleasant, earthy aroma of rosemary can have calming and mood-enhancing effects, making it a soothing addition to any natural spray. Rosemary has natural antimicrobial benefits that may help keep your skin healthy and protected, especially when dealing with bug bites or irritations and can help soothe minor skin irritations caused by insect bites. Witch Hazel was added because it is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help calm skin irritation caused by bug bites. It acts as a natural astringent, tightening the skin and reducing excess oil, which can make it less attractive to bugs and is a great base for mixing essential oils. Rose Geranium was also included because it has a strong fragrance which can effectively deter mosquitoes, flies, and other pests. The essential oil contains compounds like citronellol and geraniol, which have antimicrobial effects. This helps in preventing infections from bug bites. Rose geranium oil can soothe skin irritations and promote healing, and its pleasant rose-like scent not only repels bugs but also provides stress relief and relaxation. Peppermint because it is a fantastic natural option for repelling bugs due to its strong menthol scent disrupts the olfactory senses of insects, making it an effective deterrent. It can repel mosquitoes, ants, spiders, and flies. Finally. we added in Super Blue French Lavender. Lavender contains compounds like linalool and linalyl acetate, which are known to repel mosquitoes, flies, moths, and even fleas. Its strong fragrance disrupts insects’ sensory receptors, making them avoid being treated in the area. Lavender is safe for use around children and pets and its soothing aroma can help reduce stress and promote relaxation, making it a dual-purpose solution.
Smelling Notes: Exceptionally light smell from lavender and rose geranium plus citrus and peppermint.
