Natural Insect Repellent Bug Oil 100–500ml DEET Free Mosquito Midge Massage Rub Oil

Why did I create this?...

Simple: revenge.

I was on holiday in sunny Antalya, hoping for a bit of peace, maybe a bargain carpet… Instead, I was mugged by midges and eaten alive by mosquitoes. And not just a nibble — full-blown assault on my poor, English, talcum-pale legs. The itching was so bad I was drawing blood scratching. It was not the souvenir I wanted.

So I did what most Brits abroad do — limped to the nearest pharmacy. Bought a bug spray that:

1. Mostly blew away in the breeze as I sprayed

2. Reeked of chemicals

3. Didn’t actually work

4. Was full of DEET (cheers, brain fog and tremors…)

Seriously, here’s what a quick Google of DEET says:

"Repeated use in high concentrations can lead to toxic encephalopathy with neurological symptoms like seizures, tremors and slurred speech."

No, thanks. I’ve already got beer for that. 🍺

So I went home and made this instead…

With my business partner (an expert Yorkshire herbalist), we blended a natural insect-repelling body oil. It’s a massage rub oil, not a spray — so it doesn’t blow off in the wind, and it actually stays on your skin to keep bugs off.
