Scientific Insect-Repelling Oils

Essential Oil University Released Super Bug Blend Oils

— June 7, 2022 — Eco
Essential Oil University, the testing organization and company founded by Dr. Robert Pappas in 1998, announced a new product named the 'Super Bug Blend.' This product is 100% natural and is completely DEET-free. When creating this product, the company sought to make it safe, energizing, and uplifting. As a result, the product was created only out of a unique blend of essential oils.

This essential oil blend, which includes catnip, texas cedarwood, petitgrain, nootkatone, and many more, is engineered to repel insects, kill ticks, and invigorate the skin. The oil comes in the form of a rubbable lotion that makes it easy to apply just a few drops to the exposed areas of skin. The company has stated that this is one of the most effective insect repellents on the market. On top of this, it is one of the first approved products to come out with the recently CDC-approved nootkatone ingredient.
