It smells great but, does it Really work?
Yes, it really does work. We spent a whole summer with our Farmers Market customers testing Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ before we launched.
How long does Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ last?
This is a two-part question.
Part one, shelf life for the Balm & Roll-On is 2 years when kept in a mean temperature between 60-72 degrees. The balm will melt at 80 degrees. The longer it is kept at a higher degree, the faster it will go rancid. The Roll-On is a combination of oils. Heat will cause it to go rancid quickly. Temperature matters, keep it cool and should last you a long time
Part two, how long will it last for use? here is an example of one of our testers: The Balm has lasted a family of four, who are extremely active, all last summer and they are still using it. A family with extended family, are still using there's as they vacation around the globe, by the pool, playing volleyball and so much more. Please send us your stories.
The Roll-On is a new product in a larger bottle than we market tested. We tested a .5 oz bottle through the summer. It lasted through a summer with some left over with regular use: shopping, outdoor birthday parties, camping, BBQ's. We would love to hear more about how long it lasts.
Is Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ Child safe?
We have tested Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ on children as young as 3 months old with 100% no reactions.
We believe it is safe for children. The only reactions is keeping Mosquitoes away!
Please make sure to do a PATCH TEST on yourself and your children.
The best place on a child to do a PATCH TEST is between the shoulder blades about the size of a dime. Check for any discoloration, or rash. Wash with soap and water should your child have any reaction.Â
Is Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ safe for my pets?
Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢ is made for humans only. We have not tested it on pets.
As a pet owner myself, my dog likes to lick lotion off my skin. So far, he has not wanted to lick Mosquito Bee Goneâ„¢, and Bug Bite Relief off my skin. Each animal is different. We have had some animals lick owners' skin after the application has been on for over a half hour without any effects.Â
Are the ingredients really All Natural?
Yes, they are. After researching different types of mosquitoes and what kind of essential oils that repel them, along with Neem oil, we have created a mosquito repellent that really works and is 100% All Natural. All of our Essential Oils and raw ingredients are naturally processed.Â
Are your products recyclable?
Part of our mission statement is to do our very best to always use recyclable packaging. After a tremendous amount of research, we finally found an aluminum tube manufacturer that uses a Golden Epoxy to line aluminum tubes against beauty ingredients leaking into the aluminum and vise versa.Â
How does it work?
Most aluminum tube companies use a plastic liner as a barrier to leakage inside the tube. Many companies give the idea these tubes are recyclable. I believe this is in good faith on their part. Unfortunately, plastic has a higher melting degree than epoxy. The plastic then melts into the aluminum, making UNRECYCLABLE.Â
Knowing our packaging INSIDE and OUT is critical to our Mission Statement to help do our part for the future of the environment we live in and the safety of our skin. After all, our Skin is the largest organ of our bodies.Â
What is Neem Oil?
Neem oil is a natural bug repellent. It is commonly used on plants by gardeners to keep many different insects away. Neem oil is 5 times more effective than DEET making great as an ingredient against Mosquitoes. Fun facts: Neem oil is found in toothpaste, cosmetics, soaps, and traditional medicines.Â
Why so many different Essential oils?
Great question. Like people and allergies, mosquito are not all the same in things that repel them. Catnip is ten times more effective than DEET and it also is great at repelling the nasty Tiger Mosquito found in Southern California. Who would have believed Vanilla is great at repelling mosquitoes as well. While one mosquito would be repelled from one essential, another isn't bothered. Just like some people are allergic to peanuts and others are not. So, after much research and real people testing, we created formulation that works on many different mosquitoes.
Does it work in other countries?
So far, we have tested it in Puerto Rico, all over Mexico, Belize, South Africa and all over the United States with great success. If you're vacationing, or live somewhere with tons of mosquitoes, we would love your testimony!
