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).
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 :)
Have got an ingredient list and yep, totally natural :D 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! :D but you're right Leash, it's the best stuff. Bushies swear by it...
Can you post the ingredients list?
Lol Kim!! Will have to try it!!:
Well the emailed it to me freely when I asked, but I'd prefer to PM it anyone who is interested. :)
It's just 4 ingredients though :)
Have PM'd you em, and anyone else let me know :)
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 :)
Does that mean I can't use it? We're getting eaten alive at night at the moment.
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 :(
