Many traditional bug repellants lean heavily on DEET to keep bugs away. There is an ongoing debate regarding the safety of DEET applied directly to the skin. Regardless of the specific details — which are still forthcoming — thehttps://www.drdougsbalms.com/ development team at Dr. Doug's Balms decided to avoid taking any unnecessary risks. Instead, they focused on another potent and powerful bug repellant: lemongrass.
"Our formula leans on lemongrass essential oils," explains company co-founder "Dr. Doug" Strobel, "Lemongrass is a natural bug repellent. This gives people the ability to avoid annoying, potentially dangerous bug bites without the need to douse themselves in chemicals on a daily basis. Most importantly, there's NO DEET. That means there's no chance of irritation, redness, or swelling in response to applying our repellent."
