Anti-Bug Shake & Spray ~ Organic Insect Repellent
$ 8.99
Good for the skin, bad for the bug ~ and it really works! Badger’s Anti-Bug Shake & Spray is a totally organic and natural bug spray repellent. Using pure essential oils to naturally keep bugs, mosquitoes and insects away. Based on Badger's effective and popular Anti-Bug Balm formula, this liquid insect repellent naturally repels insects with the pleasant aroma of citronella, rosemary, and wintergreen essential oils.
Unlike most other brands on the market, Badger's Shake & Spray contains no DEET, petroleum products, or synthetic chemicals. Also, it's been independently lab tested for efficacy against mosquitoes, with results of 3-4 hours of maximum protection. This means it's safe and effective for the whole family!
Features
Directions for Use
Shake well before each use. Spray directly on entire area of skin to be protected, or use as a gentle mist over hair and clothing. For sensitive skin, apply a small amount of the product to test before full use. Keep out of eyes and keep off broken or unhealthy skin. Adult supervision is recommended when using this product on children. Remember to shake vigorously before application for full protection, and reapply as needed.
Where's the USDA Organic Logo?
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulates all bug repellents and they only allow products to reference a single federal agency on their labels as they are concerned that consumers will not know who to go to if they have a problem with the product. Badger's Anti-Bug Balm & Spray is still certified organic, but they just can't reference the USDA on the labels.

This highly considered blend was developed by our advisor, Dr. Alexander Shikhman, MD. Boswellia is an aromatic resin obtained from the Indian tree, Boswellia serrata, which has been used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine to control pain and inflammation. The main biologically active ingredient of boswellia is boswellic acid.
Current research shows that boswellic acid expresses strong anti-inflammatory activity and inhibits leukocyte migration, suppresses antibody production and inhibits activation of classical and alternative complement pathways. In addition, boswellic acid expresses analgesic activity, prevents degradation of cartilage matrix and reduces bronchospasm.
Curcumin [1, 7-bis (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1, 6 heptadiene-3, 5-dione] is an orange-yellow component of turmeric (Curcuma longa), a spice often found in curry powder. Curcumin possesses a variety of biologic and pharmacologic activities, including anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-carcinogenic ones.
It induces detoxifying enzymes such as glutathione S-transferase, and as such may find application as a cancer prevention agent. Curcumin is a potent inhibitor of COX-2, lipooxygenase, ornithine decarboxylase (ODC), nuclear factor-kB, c-Jun N-terminal kinase and protein kinase C and has also been demonstrated to play a vital role against pathological conditions such as atherosclerosis and neurodegenerative diseases.
Potential side effects ~ stomach discomfort, nausea, acid reflux (heartburn), diarrhea, burning upon urination
Potential drug interactions ~ montelukast (Singulair), statins, NSAIDs, fluconazole (Diflucan)
