Bite Relief
Brands I haven't personally tried, but would buy!
Tested and momma approved sprays.
I have tried quite a few different sprays over the years and some work, some not so much, but here are my top picks!
This one works really well! The bottle is kind of smaller and in Florida we use bug spray daily, so it does not last my family as long as I would like.
Organic Natural Bug Repellent Spray | Badger Balm
This works great to keep mosquitos away, I do find that you have to apply it again as time goes on. Overall, really great brand. Customer service was 10/10 as well. I was having trouble spraying it and they sent me a new spray top.
Nantucket Spider & Nantucket Footprint | Official Site
This is my favorite of them all! It is less toxic and it uses Picardan instead of deet, but it works as good as traditional bug spray and lasts hours. I do go for the spray bottle without aerosol.
Clean Feel Insect Repellent Products | OFF!® Mosquito Protection
I have used these with success where mosquitos weren't so thick. However, when they are heavy, they have no regard for the stickers. If you live in a less mosquito dense area, these will be just fine!
NATPAT Buzz Patch Mosquito Stickers Kids
Bite Relief
Nothing like being woke up at night to kids itching like crazy from bites! Even when using spray, the little buggers still sneak in bites from time to time, so here are my tested and approved bite relief picks.
I'm a huge Calendula person. My kids love it and they ask for it when they have bites. It relieves the itch!
Boiron Calendula Cream for Skin Irritations
Just like the cream, this works well! I keep both on hand. I think the gel gives more of a cool feeling.
Boiron Calendula Gel for Skin Irritations
I am certain you can use this salve on anything! Great to have on hand and it helps the itching! Clean ingredients and amazing customer service. Use code KAYLEEREANOS for 10% off.
Calendula Salve, Slow Infused Cream with Licorice Root and Castor Oil
I have no idea if calamine is non-toxic, but growing up in the 90's running rampant outside in the woods, I know it WORKS for itch relief. Bug bites, poison ivy, poison oak, etc. Calamine has stood the test of time.
Calamine Lotion: Uses, Benefits & Side Effects
Brands I haven't personally tried, but would buy!
There are so many lower toxic sprays on the market now! These are my honorable mentions! I haven't tried, but would feel comfortable purchasing them all and spraying on my kids and myself.
This is a great lower tox brand with tons of recommendations! I have not tried this, but I would feel comfortable buying it and using it.
INSECT REPELLENT SPRAY
I have not used this, but Primally Pure is such a great brand! I use their deodorant and have used their skincare and I love it all. I would buy this just based off of the knowledge I have about the brand.
Nature Spray (Mosquito Repellent)
Again, I have not tried this, but I would feel comfortable using it! It's a little easier to access as well.
Mosquito Repellent
Have not tried, but it is all oils and I would be comfortable using on myself and my littles.
