I’m just over here rubbing citronella on my skin instead! 🌿🪴 Let’s be real for a second—conventional bug sprays loaded with DEET get the job done, but at what cost? DEET is a heavy-duty synthetic chemical designed to paralyze a bug's nervous system - Absorbing that through our skin on the daily isn't ideal, especially for little ones. Now, is there a time and place for DEET? Maybe 🤔 . If you're deep in the back-country or traveling where tick-borne illnesses or mosquito-vectored diseases are a high risk, chemical protection is totally warranted. But for everyday backyard hangouts, gardening, and short low-risk stretches outside, I’ll take the plant route every single time. Linking a few of my favorite clean, non-toxic bug sprays and natural defense products right here for you guys so you have them on hand ✨ What's your stance on bug spray—are you team synthetic or team botanical?
