Natural Lavender Insect Repellent Spray NZ, Travel Size, 100ml and Refill

Mist our lavender insect spray over arms and legs before gardening, a picnic or a summer evening on the deck, and enjoy a fresh scent of lavender and lemongrass. It's a natural outdoor spray scented only with essential oils, our lavender with lemongrass and a fresh blend, with no DEET, in a 30ml travel size, a 100ml bottle or a 500ml refill. Our Lavandula × intermedia 'Super' lavender essential oil is grown and steam-distilled on our family farm in Newstead, Waikato. Keep a 100ml by the back door, pop the 30ml travel size in your bag for the beach or a bush walk, and top both up from the 500ml refill all summer.
