This sunscreen is made with Lemon eucalyptus, cedarwood oil and citronella to repel mosquitos and gnats. Lemon eucalyptus is really the heavy hitter here. Research has shown that it is one of the best natural mosquito repellents that we can use. Pairing these oil with non-nano zinc oxide, organic mango butter and silky-smooth organic, cold pressed apricot oil makes for an effective sunscreen that goes on light and repels bugs.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE: Use back of fingernail or bamboo spoon/spatula (or similar) to scoop out a pea sized amount. Warm between hands to melt sunscreen with body heat then apply to face and gently around eyes. Repeat for body application and apply generously before any sun exposure. Reapply every 1-2 hours as needed. Wear clothing that covers the skin, a hat or seek shade when possible to minimize sun exposure.
PLEASE NOTE: This is a natural sunscreen and should be used within a year of opening or refrigerated when not in use to extend the shelf life. It may become liquid when exposed to heat but this will not reduce its effectiveness. Your sunscreen will return to its original state when removed from the heat. We recommend placing it in the refrigerator after a day out in the sun to reduce graininess.
