Customer Reviews

It works very well!
If you're looking for an all-natural bug repellant that works, and works well...get this one! Not sticky and has a pleasant scent too.

does not really work
This is basically essential oils in a fast-absorbing carrier oil. Nice smell and good for moisturizing skin, BUT as an insect repellent, I can't say that it's very effective. I was in the Dominican Republic on vacation and I was reapplying this stuff every 30 minutes to an hour, cause the one hour I didn't, I got bitten about 10 times! It was horrible! I spent the entire vacation applying this stuff over and over during every free moment and before going outside. Plus, I had to make sure I covered my whole body each time I reapplied, or the patch that I didn't cover will get bitten!

So I'm not saying that it doesn't work at all, so if you're willing to keep slathering yourself over and over with this stuff, you'll probably be okay. Me, I think I'll look for something that lasts for at least 2 hours before I need to reapply. Pity because I really wanted a "natural" bug repellent.

Works Well, Smells Good
This actually has a fairly pleasant smell, no small feat in the world of insect repellents, goes on easily and does the job. Once it settles in, it's not very greasy either. And as always with Burt's Bees products, the chemicals are 'all-natural' (can't remember what the percentage of natural ingredients they state actually is), so you can feel better about the noxious chemicals you might be consuming and/or introducing into the environment.
