Bug Me Not Insect Repellent Skin Oil with Lemongrass 1+

Lavender (specifically Lavandula angustifolia or "true lavender") offers numerous skin benefits, most notably powerful anti-inflammatory, soothing, and regenerative properties that help calm irritation, fight acne, and promote healing. It helps soothe the burning sensation and redness associated with sunburn, shaving irritation, eczema, or rosacea. The active ingredients help limit the proliferation of bacteria like Cutibacterium acnes, which is involved in acne development, thus preventing or soothing skin eruptions.

Lemongrass essential oil provides significant anti-insect benefits, acting as a natural repellent against a wide range of pests, including mosquitoes, flies, ticks, and spiders. These effects are primarily due to its high concentration of citral (geranial and neral) and other compounds like geraniol. The active components can disrupt the insect's nervous system, leading to disorientation, and, in high concentrations, can be toxic to the insect. The potent scent can mask human scents, like carbon dioxide, that attract mosquitoes, effectively making it harder for them to find you.

Frankincense essential oil (from the Boswellia tree) offers several skin benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and skin-toning properties, thanks to active compounds like boswellic acids. Its powerful anti-inflammatory action helps soothe conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema by preventing the body from releasing inflammation-causing chemicals.
