Really Good's 'De-Bug Balm' is Powered by Neem and Karanja

— February 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
Citronella, lavender and catnip are some of the ingredients that are commonly found in insect repellent products, but the Really Good De-Bug Balm provides a chemical-free solution with alternative natural ingredients.

The oil-based spray is made from a number of unusual ingredients, most notably karanja and neem seed oils, which are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. The fragrant chemical-free mosquito repellent is further enhanced with oils from sources like lemon eucalyptus and peppermint. Unlike many other insect-repelling products, this one is gentle enough for use on the face and body. Even as an oil, this is a spray product that will not sit on the skin and leave it feeling heavy or greasy.

The natural vegan and cruelty-free product is certified with Beauty Without Cruelty and is a member of PETA's Beauty Without Bunnies Program.
