Our whole family uses this for protection from bugs. It’s very effective and natural which is a big plus! The only thing is it’s a little oily but that’s to be expected because of the ingredients. It’s well worth a little greasy skin!
I’m a believer!!

I bought this for the first time years ago and it changed my perspective on natural remedies. I live in Minnesota, where we joke about the mosquito being the state insect. I sent a bottle with my child when she visited the Deep Portage Learning Center and while everyone else was using25-40% deet bug sprays and getting eaten up, she was using Babyganics and was the only one who wasn’t being bothered by mosquitoes.

I bought this for my toddler, I’ve heard a lot about natural oils to repel mosquitos. It doesn’t work. We went to Wyoming and the mosquitos were so bad. I lathered my son in this repellent 3 times and he still got so many mosquito bites that he started to swell up. I then put a different brand of repellent on him, and he never got bit again the whole trip. I do not recommend this product.
Only use if you want to attract bees instantly

Tried for the first time tonight and we couldn’t escape the BEES that kept following us everywhere. Never had an issue like this before. Now my 2yo is scared to go outside because of the bees.

It works very well and I feel comfortable putting this product on my baby’s skin. It’s oily, which is great for noseeums. The citronella and lemon seed oil smells do not dissipate, but it washes off very easily. I highly recommend this product. We live in Florida and have been using it for 2 years now.

I was very disappointed to find that despite the strong smell, this product seemed to do nothing to repel mosquitoes. My child still got covered with bites. In fact, it seems to attract ants. we had the bottle sitting on a blanket in the grass and with in 30 minutes it was covered in ants trying to get in around the lid.

I had multiple bug bites on every part of my body I sprayed this on. I’m an adult, so maybe it works better on children, but it definitely did not work for me. It literally attracted bugs. I only had bites where I applied this.

Erica - 1 year ago
Does not repel mosquitoes at all (I covered myself and my daughter and within 30 seconds of being outside we were already being bitten), and the formula is extremely greasy, like baby oil if baby oil didn’t rub into the skin and just sat on top of it. I might as well have put cooking oil all over us both, it would have had the same effect.

The product is mostly soybean oil, but even with the essential oils added (in tiny amounts) it is completely useless. Does nothing to prevent mosquities from swarming you. Promptly returning this to the store, do not waste your time and money here.
