Oils
This natural insect repellent is made with organic, virgin, and cold-pressed sweet almond and sunflower oil. Sweet Almond Oil is a powerful moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin, including baby skin. It works to reduce excess sebum, inflammation, scars, dryness, eczema, and acne. Sweet almond oil can also lighten skin tone, dark circles, and support an even complexion. Sunflower oil is great for both dry, irritated skin or oily, acne-prone skin alike. It is gentle, lightweight, and will not clog pores. Sunflower oil is also highly moisturizing and healing, high in Vitamin E and oleic acid (omega 9 fatty acid) that provide natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It easily absorbs into the skin to lock in moisture, soothe and soften skin.

We love this stuff. It helps keep the bugs from biting when I’m working in my garden or playing with my son on a blanket in the grass. I rub it around my ankles, wrists and on my neck and it keeps the gnats from flying into my face! It smells really good and it feels good going on, too! I recommend it to all of my neighbors!

Love this bug repellent so much! Non-greasy, lovely scent and it really deters the skeeters. Others I have tried seem to wear off within minutes and the mosquitoes would be hovering within inches of my face, but they steer clear of this stuff! Highly recommend!

I bought this awhile back and finally had a chance to use it while camping this past weekend. As soon as I started putting it on, I was praying it would work because it smelled soooo much better than any store bought bug spray. It felt nice on my skin, which isn’t something you can say about other sprays, haha! I put it on myself and my kids. My husband admitted that he wasn’t sure it would work so he sprayed himself with bug spray, BUT, he ended up being the only one who got bit! I’m usually covered with bites and I came home with NONE! I am shook! I can’t give it enough praise! I love that it’s natural, too.

We LOVE this bug balm! I always try to find the best quality products for me and my kids, and sometimes that means the product doesn’t always work as well. But this is an huge exception! Homestead and Chill’s bug off balm WORKS. I feel so good putting it on tiny sensitive skin, too! Thanks Deanna and Aaron!

My family lives outside during the warm months and this bug balm has saved us from many sleeplessly itchy nights. I am planning a backyard wedding and will have this at the ready for guests! Thank you for everything you do!
