Item Details:
Natural & Organic: BUG OFF is homemade. 100% is made from natural ingredients and I use mostly organic ingredients.
Why Bug Spray? A reason many people avoid bug spray is due to its reputation for containing toxic chemicals and having an unpleasant smell. However, protection is important – bug bites are not only pesky, but also can be a cause for concern.
I was inspired to make a natural spray with fresh and alluring fragrances so that people can be safer outdoors without these concerns. Whenever I wear BUG OFF I get compliments on how fabulous I smell! It smells like a summer season body spray, only it repels instead of attracts bugs.
Lyme Disease is a growing problem in the world, especially on Eastern Long Island. There are many people (who are not treated right away) living with chronic Lyme Disease, which is preventable when taking the right precautions. My hope is that the beautiful packaging, summery smell and natural ingredients of BUG OFF will inspire people to use bug spray as a part of their everyday lives.
Glass Bottles : All D’s Hampton Organics products are in glass bottles for environmental and health reasons. Oils (both carrier & essential oils) degrade plastic. When using oils in plastic containers, the phthalates (chemicals used in plastic) seep into the product. The chemicals are then absorbed through the skin and go into the bloodstream, disrupting the endocrine (hormonal) system.
Why Natural and Organic Bug Spray? What we put on to our bodies is just as important as what we put into our bodies. The epidermis, or skin, is the largest organ in the human body, and everything we put on topically gets absorbed into our bloodstream.
Most products we use are filled with endocrine disruptors, carcinogens and toxins that seep into our bodies through our skin and cause disease with prolonged use. The products that I make not only avoid harmful substances, but they also have ingredients that are beneficial to you.
-Shipping as a present? We are happy to include a special note for FREE! Include your personal message in the “Notes To Seller“ and we will include it with the product(s).
-Wholesale: We love to work with shops, restaurants, events or other places with outdoor seating. If you are interested in our wholesale policies and pricing, please contact us!
*IMPORTANT*
- If the spray gets into eyes or if your skin is sensitive to the spray, DO NOT USE WATER. Instead, pour OIL (olive, coconut, etc) onto the effected area.
- Do not use on Cats
- Information for Dogs: If you would like to use this on your Dog, please order and leave a note at checkout. I will take out the Tea Tree essential oil to make this blend safe for dogs. More on safely using this product with your dog can be found here http://essentialoilvet.com/safety/
- Use Caution when using BUG OFF in direct sunlight. Certain essential oils allow the skin to absorb UV rays more easily. DO NOT use tanning bed after using BUG OFF.

I am one of those people who get bit like crazy the second I step foot outdoors in the summer. I’m always hesitant to use bug spray because of the bad smell and chemicals. I’ve used other natural bug sprays before but I love the scent of this one the best —not to mention it actually works!! The bottle is gorgeous and I love bringing it out at the beach and on vacation

This stuff really works and it actually smells good too. It’s also lightweight and doesn’t feel greasy. I am a very harsh critic when it comes to bug spray products, because very few are actually effective. Especially in the humid summer months after 5pm, bugs are always attacking my legs, arms and neck–mosquitoes, beach flies, gnats– you name it. This is the only product I’ve ever tried that successfully repels them.

Best organic bug spray and body spray. So you get 2 for 1 deal. I spend my weekends in the Hamptons. Many nights I’m outside catching the sunset, this is perfect product for the country nights .

This bug spray is great for outdoor sports. I spend a lot of time hiking in the woods of NY and use this spray on every hike. Before I get dressed I spray my whole body and my hair. Then, I put on my hiking gear. Once I am outside I do still use a bug spray with DEET on my clothes, boots, and pack. My boots and backpack are also treated with Permethrin. Yes, I am SUPER paranoid about avoiding ticks and Lyme Disease.
I am really happy that I don’t have to put DEET on my skin now that I found this natural bug spray. Now I have three layers of protection. I’ve been doing this routine for two years now and haven’t had a single tick bite.
AND this bug spray smells amazing. I wore it on a date with an outdoorsy guy and he complimented how I spelled. He had no idea I was wearing bug spray, not perfume!

I’ve been looking for an all natural bug spray for sometime now and this BUG OFF spray is so good!! I refuse to use DEET and those other smelly bug sprays. This spray smells amazing, people are always asking me what I’m wearing. It works to repel bugs and makes me smell like summer. Good purchase. I really recommend this bug spray.

I love that this does not have the horrible chemical smell of regular bug spray. I actually enjoy putting it on because the scent is light and refreshing. I also love the oil base since it doubles as a moisturizer. I got into the habit of applying this all summer after showering and before going outside. I ended up bug bite free! Definitely recommend!

I have really sweet blood so mosquitoes are always after me, especially in the smaller parts that aren’t always covered like my ankles. I’m so sick of all those bug sprays with chemicals that make you smell weird. I used simply11 spray and not only does it smell delicious, but it worked! I was outside all weekend and not one single bug bite.

I like this product so much that I just reordered it for the 3rd time. I love that I can spray it not just all over my clothes but also my skin and hair without getting any skin irritations. The smell is somewhat strong but really pleasant and definitely better than the smell of most bug sprays. So far it has worked to keep bugs off me which is of real concern to me as I suffer from chronic Lyme disease. I spend the summer in an area that is endemic for Lyme so applying the right bug spray is of utmost importance. It also works well against mosquitoes and other biting insects. Great product.
