The bugs have been told. Not today. 🌿
The Slow North “Not Today, Bugs” Natural Bug Repellent Spray is the answer to every outdoor moment that deserves to be enjoyed without swatting, scratching, or reaching for something full of DEET and synthetic chemicals. A custom blend of five pure essential oils — lavender, citronella, lemongrass, geranium, and patchouli — in a gentle base of aloe vera juice and witch hazel, in a sleek 4 fl oz aluminum bottle that goes anywhere you go. It smells like a garden, not a chemical plant. It feels like a skin treatment, not a pesticide. And it works — deterring mosquitoes effectively while being genuinely kind to your skin. Shake, spritz, and go outside. The bugs can find someone else. ☀️
This is the spray for the backyard barbecue, the camping trip, the evening walk, the outdoor wedding, the morning hike, the porch at dusk when the light is golden and the mosquitoes have other ideas. It is the spray you feel good about putting on your skin and on your children’s skin — because every ingredient in it is something you can actually pronounce and feel good about. 🌻
The essential oils are carried in a base of aloe vera whole leaf juice and witch hazel — two of the most skin-friendly ingredients in the natural world. Aloe vera soothes and hydrates; witch hazel tones and refreshes. The result is a bug spray that actually feels good on the skin — not sticky, not greasy, not harsh — just clean, light, and effective.
