Bug Off Bug Spray Ingredient Spotlight
Witch Hazel
Witch hazel creates the lightweight foundation of Bug Off Bug Spray. It dries quickly, feels refreshing on the skin, and won't leave behind a heavy or sticky residue. That makes it an excellent base for an outdoor spray you'll want to use throughout the day.
Organic Lemon Balm
Lemon balm has been appreciated in herbal wellness for generations because of its fresh, citrusy aroma. In Bug Off Bug Spray, I slowly infuse organic lemon balm to create a botanical foundation that complements the essential oil blend while adding a naturally refreshing scent.
Organic Peppermint
Peppermint brings a crisp, cooling botanical aroma that instantly feels refreshing outdoors. Its bright scent pairs beautifully with the herbal and woodsy notes in the formula, helping create the clean fragrance that makes Bug Off Bug Spray a customer favorite.
Organic Lavender
Lavender adds a soft floral balance to the blend. While the brighter herbs and essential oils provide freshness, lavender helps round out the aroma with its gentle, calming character. Together, the botanicals create a fragrance that's both refreshing and pleasant to wear.
Organic Rosemary
Rosemary has been valued in traditional herbalism for centuries because of its distinctive herbal aroma. In Bug Off Bug Spray, it adds depth to both the herbal infusion and the essential oil blend, creating a crisp scent inspired by nature.
Lemongrass Essential Oil
Lemongrass brings a bright, citrus-forward aroma that's synonymous with outdoor botanical blends. Its clean scent blends beautifully with the infused herbs while adding an energizing freshness to every spray.
Thyme Essential Oil
Thyme contributes a warm, herbaceous note that enhances the complexity of the blend. Its rich botanical aroma pairs naturally with rosemary and cedarwood, creating a well-balanced outdoor fragrance.
Rosemary Essential Oil
Rosemary essential oil intensifies the fresh herbal character of the spray. Together with the infused rosemary, it creates a vibrant botanical aroma that's crisp, clean, and unmistakably outdoorsy.
Cedarwood Essential Oil
Cedarwood adds warm, earthy notes that bring balance to the brighter citrus and herbal aromas. Its rich woodland scent completes the blend, creating a fragrance that feels grounded, fresh, and perfect for outdoor adventures.
Why These Ingredients Make Bug Off Bug Spray Unique
Every ingredient in Bug Off Bug Spray was selected with intention. Rather than relying on a single essential oil, I combined traditionally infused herbs with a carefully balanced blend of botanical essential oils to create a refreshing outdoor spray inspired by nature.
Organic lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary create the herbal foundation through a slow infusion, while witch hazel provides a lightweight, fast-drying base. Meanwhile, lemongrass, thyme, rosemary, and cedarwood essential oils add layers of fresh citrus, aromatic herbs, and earthy woodland notes. Together, these thoughtfully selected ingredients create a spray that's as enjoyable to wear as it is to keep on hand for outdoor adventures.
Because I handcraft every batch in small quantities, I can focus on quality, consistency, and carefully selected botanical ingredients from start to finish.
🌿 From My Herbalist's Bench
If you've ever spent a summer evening swatting at bugs instead of enjoying the sunset, you understand exactly why I created Bug Off Bug Spray.
I wanted something I'd actually enjoy reaching for before heading outside. Not a heavy, overpowering spray, but a lightweight botanical blend with a fresh scent inspired by the herbs growing in my own garden. By slowly infusing organic lemon balm, peppermint, lavender, and rosemary, then blending them with lemongrass, thyme, rosemary, and cedarwood essential oils, I created an outdoor spray that's refreshing, easy to use, and made with ingredients I trust.
Every bottle of Bug Off Bug Spray is handcrafted in my Ohio workshop using the same care I'd use for my own family. My hope is that it helps you spend less time worrying about the little annoyances of being outside and more time making memories—whether you're camping, gardening, watching baseball games, or simply relaxing on the porch with the people you love.

Jennifer Webb –
Used the bug spray for the first time and not one bite or even a bug near us. We were walking through a petting zoo that had loads of bugs and flying insects and it was like our family had an invisible bubble around us. The best part is it’s all natural and no one had an allergic reaction to it! Excellent product!
