Tick and Repellent

The Mountain Shield: Nature’s Protective Perimeter

The great outdoors should be a place of discovery, not a source of worry. At Flattop Mountain Herbs, we’ve developed a defense system that honors the environment while keeping its more persistent inhabitants at bay. Our Tick isn't just another oil; it is a meticulously layered aromatic barrier. While chemical repellents can feel harsh on the skin and the senses, our "Mountain Shield" uses Rose Geranium Essential Oil and a carrier oil to provide a rich, skin-loving base to create a perimeter that ticks find repulsive, but you’ll find refreshing.

The Shield Ritual: Recipe & Jarring

A potent, aromatic blend designed for the keep ticks away.

The "Tick-Free Trail" Recipe:

• 11 oz Organic Carrier Oil (Grapeseed or Olive oil)

• 2 oz Rose Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium capitatum × radens—The gold standard for ticks)

• 2 teaspoons of Pure Vanilla Extract

• Realized Yield: Three 4 oz bottles of repellent

Our Artisanal Process:

1. The Infusion: Mix the essential oil with the carrier oil in a mixing bowl. Stir vigorously to ensure the essential oil is well mixed with the carrier oil. Pour the mixture into 4 oz bottles and seal tightly.

Why It Works: The Layered Defense

Our repellent works through "olfactory confusion," using scents that insects naturally avoid to protect your skin.

• Rose Geranium : The floral aroma creates an environment that ticks find uninhabitable.

How to Use:

Scoop a small amount and apply to ankles, wrists, the back of the neck, and any exposed skin before heading into wooded or grassy areas. Reapply every 2 hours or as needed for maximum protection.

A Note from Flattop Mountain Herbs:

Our Tick Repellent is 100% DEET-free and safe for the whole family. However, we always recommend a small patch test on the skin first. For external use only.
