$ 24.50
Lemongrass • Eucalyptus . Tea Tree Shea Body Butter - Travel Favorite for Mosquito & Sand Flies (Often called Sand Fleas by travelers)
Deep Moisture + Customer-Loved Outdoor Comfort
This rich, plant-based Shea Body Butter was created after repeated customer feedback about how well it performs for dry skin — and how it’s become a go-to during mosquito and sand flies season.
It’s made with a refreshing essential oil blend of tea tree, lemongrass, and eucalyptus. Many customers love using it when they’re outdoors, traveling, or visiting warmer climates.
Customers have recently taken it to places like Belize (where sand flies and mosquitos are commonly discussed) and told us they loved the way it kept skin feeling moisturized, comfortable, and helped in protecting against mosquitos and sand flies.
Important note: This is a cosmetic moisturizer made with essential oils.
Tip: If you’re headed somewhere tropical, pack it in your carry-on so it’s ready on day one.

Tea Tree, Lemongrass & Eucalyptus Blend
Scented With: Tea Tree + Lemongrass + Eucalyptus
Lemongrass & Eucalyptus Aroma
The fresh botanical scent of lemongrass and eucalyptus is commonly used in outdoor blends because many insects rely on body scent to locate people. Strong plant aromas may help make skin smell less appealing, which is why customers often reach for this butter during mosquito and sand fly season. Along with Tea Tree Oil, this botanical trio creates a crisp, clean, outdoorsy aroma.
About “Repellent” Effectiveness (Customer-Based)
- Lemongrass: Bright, citrusy scent; often used by customers for “bug season”
- Eucalyptus: Cool, refreshing aroma; commonly used in outdoor blends
- Tea Tree: Clean, herbal scent; popular in skin-care routines for a fresh feel
We’re sharing the above because customers asked — but we avoid claiming this “repels” like an EPA-registered product.
How Customers Use It (Especially When Traveling)
- Apply to exposed areas after showering or before heading outdoors
- Reapply as needed
- Pair with common-sense protection: long sleeves and avoiding peak bug hours
