The Healthy Bug Spray You Have Been Looking For - Outdoor Armor
It is that time of year again when those little flying critters start to hunt for humans. It seems like we can not even leave the house without needing to coat ourselves in bug spray. None of us like it, especially spraying toxic chemicals on ourselves and our family members. But there is help out there. Here at Kettle Care we did the research. Klaus looked into studies trying to find the best ingredients to keep those pesky bugs away.
Several essential oils are known for their ability to repel bugs, including Citronella, Lavender, Neem, Rosemary and Eucalyptus. However the ingredient we think is the key, is specifically Lemon Eucalyptus. Lemon Eucalyptus is high in cintronellal, and has a natural component called para-menthane-3,8-diol or PMD. This active compound has been shown to prevent nymph ticks and mosquitos from feeding on us. This Oil is one that ticks particularly dislike. And they avoid latching onto anything with this oil.
So if you are looking for a healthy alternative to the commercial brand, chemical bug sprays, we encourage you to try our Outdoor Armor!

TINA'S TESTIMONIAL
So, I am originally from Louisiana. One of the worst places in the United States for mosquitos. Sometimes it feels like you can't even go outside they are so bad. The ticks can be really bad too, and these little bugs called chiggers. If you don't know what they are, consider yourself lucky! ?
A few years ago I went back to visit family. We went down to the swamp area to go crabbing. Blue Crabs...so good! I brought my trusted Outdoor Armor and put it to the ultimate test. And boy did it work! And my family loved it. I now have to send them bottles year round, and they can finally start to enjoy the outdoors a little more.
