Tick & Insect Repellent Oil
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 Repellent Oil 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
A potent, aromatic blend designed to keep ticks from finding you.
The "Tick-Free Trail" Recipe:
4 oz Rose Geranium Essential Oil (Pelargonium capitatum × radens—The gold standard for ticks)
2 tablespoons of Pure Vanilla Extract
Realized Yield: 30.5 ounces of Tick Repellent Oil
Our Artisanal Process:
Mix the Rose Geranium essential oil with the Grapeseed carrier oil in a glass bowl. Stir to ensure the essential oil is well mixed with the carrier oil. Pour the mixture into your container
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:
Apply the Tick Repellent Oil to ankles, calves, behind knees, 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.
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.
