Natural Catnip Lotions

'Lifestings' Insect Repellent Lotion is Made Without Deet and Citronella

— February 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
DEET and citronella are commonly found in bug protection products, but this 'Lifestings' insect repellent lotion from The Duggan Sisters offers an effective natural solution without either ingredient. In their places, Lifestings uses catnip oil, which is reported to be more than 10 times powerful than DEET.

This non-greasy creamy lotion is made with a base of jojoba and organic virgin coconut oils, which also play a part in offering soothing relief to thirsty summer skin. On top of this, the lotion's base is lightly scented with a proprietary blend of essential oils. With its minty formula, The Duggan Sisters remarks that "you will hardly remember you are wearing a bug repellent."

The Duggan Sisters also carries another Lifestings products in the form of an insect repellent spray.

3. Proprietary Essential Oil Blends - Experimenting with proprietary blends of essential oils in bug repellent lotions and sprays can provide a unique selling point in the insect protection industry.
Industry Implications
1. Bug Protection Products - The use of natural alternatives to DEET and citronella in bug repellent lotions and sprays can revitalize the bug protection industry.
2. Skincare Industry - The development of non-greasy lotions made with organic ingredients and scented with essential oils can disrupt the skincare industry.
