DEET and citronella are commonly found in bug protection products, but this 'Lifestings' insect repellent lotion from The Duggan Sisters offers an effective natural solution without either ingredient. In their places, Lifestings uses catnip oil, which is reported to be more than 10 times powerful than DEET.
This non-greasy creamy lotion is made with a base of jojoba and organic virgin coconut oils, which also play a part in offering soothing relief to thirsty summer skin. On top of this, the lotion's base is lightly scented with a proprietary blend of essential oils. With its minty formula, The Duggan Sisters remarks that "you will hardly remember you are wearing a bug repellent."
The Duggan Sisters also carries another Lifestings products in the form of an insect repellent spray.
