This bug spray is formulated with natural ingredients that make insects want to stay far, far away. It contains lavender hydrosol, a natural insecticide, as well as bergamot, orange, lemon and litsea essential oils for a refreshing scent that will further deter bugs. It also contains tea tree oil, which is an antiseptic and soothing ingredient that prevents and treats bites. Spray onto your face, hair and body every two hours for maximum protection.

It comes in a lightweight recyclable bottle, too.
If citrus or herbal scents aren't your thing, try Isola's Lavender + Vanilla Bean Perfume Body Oil. It's technically a perfume, but doubles as an insect repellant thanks to the inclusion of both lavender and vanilla, two ingredients that insects don't want anything to do with. Yep -- you can have your perfume and bug-free summer, too.
For another DEET-free bug spray, we recommend Burt's Bees Herbal Insect Repellent. It combines a hearty fusion of natural oils that bugs loathe, including rosemary, lemongrass, citronella, cedar, peppermint, clove, and geranium. These are contained in a base of castor oil, which helps soothe, soften and hydrate the skin.
