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.

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:
