Why We Love It
Plants have been protecting themselves from insects since the beginning of time. Chagrin Valley is harnessing the power of plants to repel insects naturally. Recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as an alternative to DEET, you know this natural repellent stick is the real deal. The shea butter and jojoba oil soothes and softens your skin while essential oils like lemon eucalyptus keep away those pesky bugs.
