I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a safe chemical-free preferrably organic insect repellent that I can use on my 1 yr old. We are heading to Florida on a family vacation next week & I know mosquitos will be an issue.

What can I do next?

Hi J.,
This question was asked this morning, so I am just going to cut and paste what I wrote this morning. :-) I use it on myself and my children (ages 1 and 4).

Shaklee's Basic H2 works really well. We tested it up at our friend's lake house a few years ago .. .OFF on one arm, H2 on the other. We still got bit on the OFF arm and nothing on the H2 arm. I may not have believed it if I hadn't tried it. Shaklee's H2 has thousands of uses!!

It is safe and non toxic. I am really picky about what I put into my children's bodies and on top of their skin, and I feel very happy with the H2.

If you'd like more information, I'd be happy to share.

Hi J.,
We have been shopping at www.melaleuca.com for 4 years as Preferred Customers {PC}. They're products are so safe that you can combine them to create things like safe and effective insect repellent. Here's what we use on our kids [Alyssa 18 months, Alexis now 6]

Mosquito Repellent for Babies & Children
Sol-U-Mel - 3 ounces
5 Drops of T36-C5 oil
Water 8 to 16 ounces
you can spray this on their skin, clothes and even their strollers

Sol U Mel contains the purest and rarest grades of T36-C5 Melaleuca Oil [tea tree oil] plus combined with some drops of the pure oil and water works very well. Sometimes when mosquitos are extremely bad, we make sure to apply Sun Shades sunblock before the spray.

Let me know if you'd like to shop online with Melaleuca. New PCs get $20 in free products within their first 5 months of being a customer.

Hi J.-

I haven't gotten to test it out personally yet as I just bought it but I have heard great things about California baby products and then have a few different insect repellents and sunscreen that are chemical free. You can check out their website http://www.californiababy.com/ -their products are available locally at Fruitful Yield stores and Whole Foods. I love all of their bath products! Have a great trip!
