What It Does:
Bug Off Hydrosol is built around true steam-distilled plant waters, each carrying water-soluble aromatic compounds from the original plant.
The foundation of this blend is catnip hydrosol, which contains trace volatile compounds associated with mosquito and tick deterrent activity in traditional and modern botanical research contexts.
The supporting hydrosols each play a functional role in summer outdoor skin care. Together, these hydrosols create a lightweight botanical water that supports skin comfort in summer environments where insects, heat, and sun exposure overlap.
Ingredients & Benefits:
Catnip Distillate — Traditionally used in outdoor herbal blends, catnip contains naturally occurring compounds that may help discourage mosquitoes and ticks while offering a calming, soothing feel for irritated or heat-stressed summer skin
Lavender Distillate — Cooling and comforting for skin after time outdoors. Lavender is known for its gentle floral aroma and has long been used in botanical bug blends while helping calm redness and dryness
Lemon Balm Distillate — Refreshing and uplifting with naturally occurring citronellal compounds that make it beneficial in outdoor herbal care. Lemon balm also helps soothe warm, overexposed skin and supports a balanced complexion
Yarrow Distillate — A traditional prairie herb valued for supporting skin recovery after outdoor exposure. Yarrow helps tone and calm the skin while adding an earthy herbal note insects tend to avoid
Peppermint Distillate — Provides an instant cooling sensation that feels especially refreshing during hot summer days. Its crisp aroma helps create an environment less inviting to mosquitoes and other biting insects
Radish Root Ferment Filtrate — A gentle fermented preservative derived from radish root that helps keep the mist fresh and stable without harsh synthetic preservatives
Ingredients:Nepeta Cataria (Catnip) Distillate, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Distillate, Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm) Distillate, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Distillate, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Distillate, Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
