Repel Bug Off Lotion 8 oz: Five Botanical Oils in One Herbal Blend
Save
The Lavender Repel Bug Off Lotion 8 oz is the stay-at-home bottle of our Repel line. It is a botanical lotion formulated with five essential oils: lavender, citronella, lemongrass, eucalyptus and lemon. The result is a bright, green, citrusy scent with lavender holding it together.
The five oils at a glance
| Essential oil | What it adds to the scent |
|---|---|
| Lavender | The soft, herbal heart of the blend |
| Citronella | A grassy, lemony note many people know from summer evenings |
| Lemongrass | Bright, sharp and citrusy-green |
| Eucalyptus | A cool, crisp, camphor-like edge |
| Lemon | A zesty top note that keeps it fresh |
Together they smell like a summer garden after a rain: green, clean and a little citrusy, with lavender softening the sharper notes.
Using it as directed
Because this lotion is made for outdoor days, the label is your guide for how much to use, where to apply it, how often and who should use it. Read it before the first use and every time you hand the bottle to someone new in the family. A few general habits apply to most body products: keep it away from your eyes and mouth, and wash it off your hands before touching your face.
Why the 8 oz size
This is the bottle that lives by the back door, on the porch shelf or in the garden shed, where the whole household can reach it before heading outside. For packs and purses, the same Repel line also comes as a smaller travel and 4 oz lotion. See the product page for current sizes and availability.
Storing it
Keep the cap closed and store the bottle somewhere cool and out of direct sun. A hot car or a sunbaked porch rail can change the texture of any lotion over time.
The rest of the Repel line
The Repel scent family also includes a spray, a foaming hand soap for washing up afterward, a two-in-one shampoo and body wash and a ceramic candle for the patio. Mixing a few of them makes a thoughtful gift for campers and gardeners; put one together in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
How often should I reapply?
Follow the directions on the product label. It is the only reliable guide for this product.
Can children use it?
Check the label for any age guidance and directions before using it on children.
Is the lotion different from the Repel spray?
Both are made with the same five essential oils listed on their pages. The lotion is a smooth-on format; the spray mists on. Use whichever you prefer, as directed on its label.
