Insect Deflect - DEET-Free Outdoor Cream

• Gives your outdoor routine a bold aromatic layer without the heavy, greasy feel of traditional outdoor products.
• DEET-free and citronella-free, for people who want a different approach before heading outside.
• Blends Lemongrass, Lavender, Basil, Cedarwood, Rosemary, Kunzea, Peppermint, Lemon Eucalyptus, Catnip, Thuja, and Thyme into one seriously outdoorsy formula.
• Moisturizes while leaving skin feeling fresh and comfortable instead of sticky and coated.
• Makes gearing up for the backyard, trail, campsite, or garden easy — because surrendering your evening to tiny uninvited guests was never the plan.

• Hikers, campers, gardeners, patio loungers, and anyone who would rather spend their summer outside.
• People looking for a DEET-free, citronella-free addition to their outdoor routine.
• Families and outdoor enthusiasts who prefer essential oil-based products over heavy synthetic fragrances.
• Anyone who likes fresh herbal, minty, woodsy aromas with enough personality to hold their own outdoors.
• People who believe the bugs already have plenty of wilderness and don’t need your personal space too.

• Apply a small amount to the affected area(s) as needed.
• Gently spread the cream over the desired area without vigorous or prolonged rubbing, which can cause the aromatic oils to dissipate more quickly.
• Allow the cream to absorb naturally into the skin at its own rate rather than attempting to rub it in completely.
• Use on clean, dry skin and reapply as needed.
