What we've been up to

How we started

Hippy Elixir bug spray is a natural alternative when it comes to protecting yourself from the pests of nature, allowing you to enjoy more time outdoors. I have spent a lot of time tweaking and testing Hippy Elixir bug spray on family, friends and pets through the summer of 2010. I have personally been on a mission to rid my life of toxic personal care products. Living in Minnesota, bug repellent always seemed like a necessary evil. That's when our natural formula was born. Since the first bottle was made, I've had friends with pets and small children asking me to make it for them. That's when I knew I was onto something great.


Our formula consists of a special blend of USDA certified organic, therapeutic grade essential oils blended in a soothing witch hazel base. It has a pleasant aroma, it's fast drying, and non-sticky. The witch hazel is a skin conditioner with astringent and styptic qualities, which can sooth the bites you may already have.
