Essential Oil Insect Sprays

Four Elements Makes Insect Spray with Lavender, Lemon and Eucalyptus

— February 18, 2016 — Lifestyle
While there are plenty of insect sprays that promise powerful chemicals will create invisible barricades to ward off pests, there's a growing health-conscious consumer segment that's looking for all-natural solutions. Four Elements is one company that creates insect repellents from some of nature's most powerful ingredients. While fresh lavender, basil, lemon and eucalyptus have aromas that please humans, these scents are known to repulse bugs and keep them at a distance.

Other than the potent essential oils in the Lavender Catnip and Lemon Eucalyptus Insect Repellents, Four Elements uses ingredients like witch hazel and vegetable glycerin as carriers for these aromatic insect-repelling oils.

These compact travel-sized personal insect sprays serve as bug protection solutions that won't leave behind undesirable chemical scents when used during outdoor activities.
