Natural insect repellents for the whole family

Best Natural Insect Repellents for Teens 

Nature’s Botanical Spray Lotion 

For teens, I’m a fan of the Nature’s Botanical Spray Lotion as it’s so fast and easy to apply. Available in a spray-on lotion, this formulation is designed to disappear completely into the skin, leaving no oily residue behind. Instead of Tea Tree Oil and Citronella Oil, this repellent actually utilises a combination Rosemary and Cedarwood Oil to repel annoying insects just as effectively. 

Nature’s Botanical Roll-On Lotion 

Teens will also appreciate using the Nature’s Botanical Roll-On Lotion, which features the same formulation as the above spray but in another handy form of application – a roll-on bottle. 

Best Natural Insect Repellents for Children 

Nature’s Botanical Crème 

A great option for kids is the Nature’s Botanical Crème, which is formulated in a nourishing cream. Ideal for simultaneously soothing children’s delicate skin, this moisturising cream is free from Tea Tree and Citronella, and is designed to leave no oily residue on the skin. Not recommended for children under 2 as they may rub it into their eyes or mouth. 

Biologika Bug Another Insect Repellent Spray 

Another Nourished Life bestseller is the Biologika Bug Another Insect Repellent Spray, which contains a blend of Citronella, Lavender, Lemon Myrtle, Peppermint and Sage essential oils as well as soothing Aloe Vera. This Certified Organic bug spray is designed to be safe for all ages. 

Bug-grrr Off Natural Insect Repellent – Jungle Strength Formula Spray 

The Bug-grrr Off Natural Insect Repellent – Jungle Strength Formula Spray is a great full strength bug spray for the kids if you’re headed off on a hot and humid tropical getaway, designed to keep pesky insects away for up to 6 hours. This spray is suitable for children over the age of 12 months (please patch test on children before applying to the whole body.)
