Does any one know of an all natural bug repellant that is safe for kids 2 and under?
I went to Mama Joe's Sunshine Herbals shop in Indian Harbpur beach and got a bug spray that she makes. It smells really good and works great. ( No citronella) smells sort of like lavander and cedar.
The only thing is when we were out back, my son pourded water on my lefs and I think the spary washed off becasue a minute later there was a mosquito on me, other than that I really like it so far.
Avon has some very good and safe lotions and bug sprays. Buy anything from the Skin So Soft line. They do not use Deet! I still wouldn't use the bug spray itself like I would use sun block. However spray it on the clothing as much as you like! The SSS lotions are great too. They really don't say "bug repellent" but they really do work.
Try typing in Neem oil in google they make a whole line and no deet natural- got it at health food store therma neem might be the name check that
Good Morning C.,
Here is an idea for you, my mother-in-law found a product called "No Buzz Zone Patch" mosquito repelent ~ works great! We used it for the first time last night on the 4th and we did not get bit and I ALWAYS get bit. It states on the package 1 patch *no lotions *no spraying *non toxic and *deet free. You can either place the patch on your skin, on the stroller or clothing. For my youngest children I placed it on my daughter's jacket hood (she is 4 1/2 yrs) and on the back of my son's pj's (he is 11 1/2 months old). The company's phone number is 866-662-8991 or their website is www.nobuzzzone.com ~ hope this helps.

Hello C. M.
Glad that you asked. I am a SAHM myself and I partnered with a Health & Wellness company over 3 months ago and I converted over to ALL NATURAL PRODUCTS for just about anything you can name!!! Check out the website: www.saferforyourhome.com and then once you review the site let me know what you think. We have once again, EVERYTHING you can think of that is NON-TOXIC and NATURAL and SAFE FOR YOUR FAMILY. That is what I do - EDUCATE parents on the harmful toxic chemicals in the home so they can CONVERT over to safe, natural products. The only thing I shop for now in Walmart, Publix and other such stores are my foods and paper goods. IF you would like more information on making your home safer and NATURAL and NON-TOXIC, please do NOT hesitate to contact me: K. @ ###-###-####. I would be more than happy to speak with you further.
Have a Blessed Day!

Skin so soft from avon, just the lotion no scent no bug repellent, worked great for us as kids, for some reason bugs don't like the smell, even though its not bug spray. They do however now carry one with bugspray but I've always used just the plain lotion because I feel it has less chemicals, as far as all natural I don't know but if you look up Avon in the phone book someone at that number can tell you! Good_luck!!!
Hi C.,
See if your local drugstores or Target carry bug repellants made with "botanical"/plant ingredients only (no DEET.) Ingredients would include things like citronella oil, tea tree oil, geranium, lemon, chrysanthemum. Apparently bugs don't like how these plants smell. If nothing available nearby, you could try online sites including Avalon Organics, Aubrey Organics, and the Whole Foods Market website.
Even "natural" products might bother your little one, just a note incase of asthma. I have found it's good to test it on the child's lower legs/pants. Have also learned not to spray or apply anything on my kids' faces. I have them cover their eyes and mouths with their hands while I spray the back of their necks, hair, and shirts/pants.
Good luck, and that's great that you are looking out to avoid synthetic chemicals around your little one.

I know that avon has a good product that is safe for them. Also try looking for something Deet free. Good luck.
They have more than one available at whole foods. They are safe for children and deet free.
Good luck.
S.
check at whole foods or any other natural apothecary...there are a few types of essential oils that can be used as natural &safe bug repellants.
Burts Bees also has a repleant that is Deet free.
