Just found Desert Dwellers - mosquito repellent!

[Indadhanu]

A mum at work introduced me to Desert Dwellers Creme! It smells really nice, sort of like vicks but it also has rosemary, and also cederwood! Smells great! It is a creme, really light and thin and rubs in well.

Just wanted to share because I think it would appeal to a lot of people on here with no DEET Well, I assume since it advertises as all natural... I don't have an ingredients list, but will contact the manufacturers (its a camping store in Alice Springs).

[Doing my best]

very interested to know more if you happen to find it.

Has sent the email asking for ingredients and price, so I will let you know as soon as I do

[Indadhanu]

Have got an ingredient list and yep, totally natural And a decent price, a 120g tub for $16.85 plus post, which I think would last a little while as the creme is really creamy and spreads well so you don't have to use a lot.

Well if anyone wants any I can get it from the source! but you're right Leash, it's the best stuff. Bushies swear by it...

You would be able to use while BFing hey...I dont use repellent of any kind when PG or BF and get bitten so badly

I know the Cedarwood oil shouldn't be used while pregnant, and it says use caution while breastfeeding, however I'm not sure about using it in a creme.
They also say rosemary oil in low doses, so as with most essential oils you'd probably want to consult a naturopath or homeopath?

Actually, the mum at work has a newborn and is breastfeeding, I'll ask her on Monday

[Arimeh]

Does that mean I can't use it? We're getting eaten alive at night at the moment.

[Indadhanu]

Maybe email and ask? I really don't know enough about essential oils in pregnancy to answer that, especially since it's technically not in oil form, sorry
