If you have ever tried the Coconut Rehab Creme, this is almost exactly that yet for the whole body! And only scented by it's ingredients it offers the lightest coconut aroma. With your feedback perhaps we will see it more often!
The Bug A Boo Insect Repellent is a definite favorite of mine. Even though I don't have to use it year round due to where I live, it has been a life saver. I had tried all the things including other essential oils yet I would get eaten alive. And I'm sensitive to bites so whenever I would get bitten I'd swell up. Lucky me I usually wouldn't receive just one bite it would be multiple bites. I've been using it since 2017, I've only had a couple bites which occurred when I wasn't wearing it.
This spray has been a blessing for our dog too. Yes! She's large enough we spray her before going outside because we live where there are lots of ticks. It has drastically reduced the amount of ticks she attracts. Oh I should mention, we tried traditional tick products on her but she's sensitive and they were doing more harm to her than good.
Essential oils have been shown to be highly effective in deterring bugs. In fact, this article covers one of the oils included in our Bug A Boo, lemon eucalyptus is just as effective as DEET.
Plus our formula includes Catnip essential oil too! And I'll answer it right away, it does not attract cats. lol Yes, I get that question a lot. We have outside cats & I have planted catnip before as well. The cats prefer the plants!
Pro Tip: Apply a non-mineral oil lotion or creme right before applying Bug A Boo which gives it something to adhere to and last a smidge longer. Then reapply every few hours or as needed.
Word on the Beaches:
Ashley: I took it to an amusement park this weekend. It was a day full of sunshine and never burnt once. I’ve been also adding to my face Creme in my morning skincare routine. I love that it’s tinted and blends so nice.

Multipurpose Products
The Healing Elements Balm & Prebiotic Facial Mist are two great products to have on hand all year long because of all the uses they provide.
During the Spring & Summer months they are mostly grabbed to soothe sunburn. However as you can see by the below graphics they have many other uses.
Not your typical sugar scrub! The whole family will fall in love with this so you might just want to grab two or three!
Check out all these uses.
This is another magical balm we offer. During the summer months you will find it great to relieve sore muscles from all those outside activities. Or maybe you are like me and you need it year long to soothe tension headaches. I rub it on my neck & shoulders for almost instant relief. I've also found it's fantastic for bruises and even if you stub your toe, put some on!
Additional Summer Items
A couple products not mentioned in the video but also very handy to have.
Tinted Moisturizer or Liquid Foundation
Enjoy a natural sunblock similar to an SPF of 15 - 20. Both are very lightweight & breathable.
I shared more on these in this blog post along with some other natural sun protection options.
*Liquid Foundation (nothing like the 90s liquid foundation)
*mineral foundation (buildable coverage & great staying power)
This natural soothing gel calms and cools irritated, dry and sunburned skin. Made with hydrating aloe and antioxidant-rich spirulina, the nourishing formula forms a protective barrier on the skin, helping it retain moisture and promote healing.
It's definitely not a sticky aloe like I've used in the past. Smooth & hydrating! Check out these awesome results a friend experienced.
