CV Don't Bug Me Spray
About: Plants have been repelling insects and bugs to protect themselves since the beginning of time. So CV harnessed the power of plants to create an organic bug repellent spray made with organic witch hazel and a blend of essential oils that repels insects!
CV's certified organic bug spray is made with a special skin-safe blend of essential oils that includes Citronella, Cedarwood, Lemongrass, Rosemary, Eucalyptus, and Thyme. The EPA, which controls bug repellents, considers these oils to be safe and effective active ingredients in a natural bug repellent.
Certified Organic, Vegan, Cruelty-Free, Non-GMO
A safe natural substitute for chemical-laden bug repellents
Not harmful to the environment
Fresh clean scent
Effective natural bug spray for the whole family
Just Shake Vigorously & Spray--Sprayer is included
Please note: The EPA categorizes insect repellents made with essential oils as a “minimum risk pesticide,” so they are not required to be registered with the EPA or undergo testing for how effective they are or for how long they last.
Chagrin Valley manufactures "Don't Bug Me" products using ingredients intended to help keep pesky mosquitos at bay.
CV's Don't Bug Me Spray has five essential oils that are believed to repel ticks. Those are Thyme, Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Cedarwood! This spray may or may not work to repel ticks, so please use caution and discretion while using. If you're looking to repel ticks or other nefarious insects, please do your research to find a solution you're comfortable with!

Use:
- Shake vigorously before using -- Works best if shaken before each application! *(See note below)
- Apply to the skin as often as required paying special attention to places that bugs like to bite you
- Apply to the pulse points on your body. These areas, which have more body heat due to the warmth of your blood, are the best spots to apply a scent that you want to last a bit longer. Pulse points are located behind your ear, at the bottom of your throat, on your wrist, inside your elbow, and behind your knee
- If wearing short pants or shirts, lightly spray onto exposed skin, avoiding eyes and mucous membranes
- Most effective if applied about 5 minutes before venturing outside
- Reapply as needed
Precautions:
- If you are pregnant, please discuss the use of any product with your health care provider
- Do not directly spray into face--for application to face apply to hands and wipe on face avoiding contact with eyes and mouth.
- For small children or those with sensitive skin it is recommended that you do a patch test before using and if you have any questions, check with your healthcare provider
- Please have adults do the applying and do not apply to young children's hands
- Avoid contact with eyes--in case of eye contact, wash eyes with plenty of water
*Note about shaking: CV was asked by their customers to create this spray without an alcohol base. They chose Witch Hazel since after a lot of experimentation it seemed to hold the essential oils in suspension the longest. Witch Hazel behaves like water and although it does contain a small amount of alcohol, it is not enough to truly solubilize ("dissolve") essential oils. As the product sits the essential oils will tend to separate out and sit on the top (like salad dressing) which is why in order to achieve the best results you MUST shake often during application.
If you have very sensitive skin or are simply trying a new product for the first time, we always recommend doing a patch test.
For external use only. Discontinue use if irritation occurs. Best if used within 6 months of opening.
