Insect Repellent
Alaska Bug Blend is a unique formula which combines the essential oils of Citronella, Lemon Eucalyptus, Rosemary, and Lemongrass with Jojoba Oil to create an effective all natural insect repellent with a pleasing scent. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recently said that repellents containing the oil of lemon eucalyptus can protect people against mosquitoes. Oil of lemon eucalyptus is also known as p-menthane diol, or PMD, for short. PMD is a plant-based repellent that gave protection time similar to low concentrations of DEET products.
