{see original post to enter} ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Giveaway Spotlight: NATURE SHIELD ESSENTIAL OIL BLEND ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why @planttherapy? Plant Therapy is the first essential oil company to be powered entirely through renewable energy! They strive to bring quality essential oils from reputable, honest, and ethically sound socially-conscious sources. Plant Therapy gets to know everything about the farmer, distiller, or supplier they are working with - their background, reputation, and commitment to quality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are big fans of their “less is more” approach when using oils. They advise beginning with using a low dilution rate for any given situation, slowly increasing the amount if needed. They strongly caution against the undiluted use of essential oils or ingestion of them. These practices add to the conversation about responsible sustainability. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Nature Shield creates a natural, chemical free, and effective barrier to shield you from nature's outdoor annoyances. We want you to enjoy your outdoor excursions without the worry. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are using our Nature Shield blend like this: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Fill a 4-ounce spray bottle with a blend of alcohol-free witch hazel and water, leaving a teeny bit of room at the top. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Add 72 drops of Nature Shield for a 2% dilution. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Add 1 tsp polysorbate 20, which acts as an emulsifier. It has a score of 3 from the Environmental Working Group, so this is a personal choice addition. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 4. Use as a safe alternative to DEET or other chemical laden insect repellants, and start adventuring! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #chemicalfreelife #nomoredeet #organicinsectspray #theEWGapproves #organicbugspray #summerprep #sustainableskincare #sustainableliving #essentialoilrecipe #getadventuring #floattrip #instatravel #summergiveaway #sustainablebackyard #noplanetb #pixiesquad #pixiecup #ecofriendly #eodiy #socialimpact #savetheplanet #pixieforlife #healthyplanet #healthyyou #goodmeetsworld #changetheworld #bekind #EarthFriendly
