This product was especially created to be sprayed onto the skin as a repellent. DEET is toxic and should not be sprayed onto your largest body organ---the skin. This natural spray is safe to use on your skin and it even smells good! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eAmerican beautyberry (\u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eCallicarpa americana\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e) extract, Rose Geranium (Pelargonium asperum), Lemon Eucalyptus (Corymbia citriodora), Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia), Organic Cane Alcohol, Distilled water. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmerican beautyberry \u003c\/strong\u003erepels ticks because its leaves contain volatile terpenoid compounds that interfere with how ticks detect and attach to a host. Researchers with the USDA isolated several active compounds from the leaves, especially: Callicarpenal, Intermedeol, spathulenol. These plant chemicals are naturally produced by the plant as defense molecules against insects and arthropods. Ticks locate hosts using chemical cues (odor), body heat, and carbon dioxide. Beautyberry compounds disrupt that process to shield us from ticks!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRose Geranium\u003c\/strong\u003e essential oil is a highly effective, natural repellent against ticks, including the lone star tick, with some studies showing over 90% efficacy. It works by masking the scents and heat signatures that ticks use to find hosts.
