Product Recommendations

These are all products I have vetted and either use personally or would use for my family. If you see an *, it’s a product that is less natural and not necessarily my first line choice-but very effective for the category. Use it if other more natural options aren’t helping or the situation calls for it!

Outdoor Bug Repellants

A green bottle of Natrapel tick and insect repellent, featuring a label that reads 'Family Protection from Ticks & Mosquitoes for 12 Hours' and lists Picaridin as the active ingredient.

Murphy’s brand is one that I love. This is great to use on exposed skin and the spray on clothing as a good combo.

This is the spray I put on clothes to help keep mosquitoes and ticks away from the kiddos, or skin for more bite-prone kids.

*Picaridin based. Great for those mosquito magnet kiddos! Hold breath/cover mouth for application.

Thick and tough to apply but a great product overall. Their 50 SPF isn’t EWG verified.

Another great option, with a great mission behind it. Higher SPF as well.

Great brand, and this is super easy to apply. We use it for ears, face, and neck.
