CV Don't Bug Me Lotion Bar
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 a moisturizing insect repellent lotion bar.
This certified organic lotion bar 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.
Packaged in a reusable and recyclable metal tin. Toss it in your purse, pocket, picnic lunch, backpack, or fanny pack. Carry the convenient tin to enjoy bug repellent wherever you go.
- Keep insects away naturally!
- A safe natural alternative to chemical laden bug repellents
- Citronella, cedarwood and neem oils were long used as insect repellents
- Slip the handy natural bug repellent tin into your pocket or backpack
- Moisturize your skin while keeping bugs at bay
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.

Use
- 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 add few good swipes up and down the arms and legs
- Most effective if applied about 5 minutes before venturing outside
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.
