Bug Be Off KIDS
Gentle plant-powered protection for little adventurers
Summer evenings shouldn't end in itchy welts. Little Sprout was blended for exactly those golden hours — chasing fireflies, bare feet in the grass, one more trip down the slide before bedtime.
I built it soft enough for little ones, yet busy enough to keep the bugs guessing — with catnip at its heart and a handful of time-honored botanicals gathered around it. No DEET, no synthetics, no mystery ingredients. Just plants I know and trust, blended by hand.
What's Inside
|
Botanical |
What It Brings |
|
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) |
The heart of the blend. Its natural plant compound, nepetalactone, is what researchers have studied for keeping mosquitoes at a distance. |
|
Citronella (Cymbopogon nardus) |
The classic garden-party guardian — the bright, lemony scent bugs love to avoid. |
|
Rose Geranium (Pelargonium graveolens) |
Sweet and rosy, and especially unwelcome to ticks. |
|
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) |
Softly calming for little ones, and no friend to biting insects. |
|
Atlas Cedarwood (Cedrus atlantica) |
Warm, woodsy depth that grounds and rounds out the blend. |
|
Witch Hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) |
A gentle, plant-based base that carries the botanicals and feels soft on skin. |
|
Vegetable Glycerin |
A touch of plant-derived moisture that helps the mist settle and stay. |
|
Vitamin E (Tocopherol) |
Keeps the botanical oils fresh and vibrant. |
|
✨ Featured Botanical: Catnip You know it as the plant that delights cats — but catnip has a quiet second life. Its natural compound, nepetalactone, has drawn real attention in mosquito research for how well it discourages the little biters. It's the reason Little Sprout works as gently, and as plant-powered, as it does. |
How to Use
• Shake well — the botanicals settle naturally between uses, so give the bottle a good shake to wake them up.
• Mist & pat — spray into your hands and pat onto arms, legs, and ankles. Keep it away from the face and hands (little ones love to rub their eyes).
• Reapply — every couple of hours outdoors, and after sweating or water play.
• Patch test first — dab a little on the inner forearm 24 hours before the first full use.
