Let the plants handle the pests - a botanical defense for the great outdoors.
 
DEET‑Free • Plant‑Powered • Island‑Crafted
 
Meet Lemme Alone, a fresh, herbaceous insect repellent crafted for those who want effective protection without harsh chemicals. Made with hand‑pressed Beaver Island apple cider vinegar, organic witch hazel, and a carefully balanced blend of herbs and essential oils, Lemme Alone is designed to help repel mosquitos, flies, ticks, wasps, no-see-ums and gnats using nature’s own defenses.
 
Light, refreshing, and grounded in traditional plant wisdom, this formula is gentle on skin, tough on bugs, and made for time spent outside—whether you’re hiking, gardening, camping, or simply enjoying a summer evening on the porch.
 
Why is Apple Cider Vinegar in a Bug Repellant?
Apple cider vinegar supports the skin’s natural acid mantle by maintaining a healthy pH, making it a gentler and more protective base for bug spray than water, alcohol, seed oils or petroleum based products that are traditionally used as a base; which are known to strip oils and disrupt the skin barrier.
 
What Lemme Alone Does Best. 
 
Repels Insects Naturally — No DEET Required
A powerful combination of botanicals and essential oils creates an aromatic shield that helps keep mosquitos, flies, and ticks at bay—without synthetic repellents.
 
Gentle Enough for Daily Use
With soothing witch hazel and herb‑infused apple cider vinegar, Lemme Alone is designed to be kind to skin while still delivering effective protection. Apple Cider Vinegar protects the skins delicate acid mantle and nourishes your skin without the use of harsh chemicals or fillers like water or other cheap ingredients.
 
Refreshing, Clean Scent
Bright citrus, cool mint, grounding cedarwood, and herbal notes make this a repellent you’ll actually enjoy wearing—no harsh chemical smell, and no, it doesn't smell like vinegar! 
 
The Base: Island‑Born & Plant‑Centered
 
Hand‑Pressed Beaver Island Apple Cider Vinegar
Made from heritage apples grown without sprays or runoff, this living vinegar forms the foundation of Lemme Alone. Traditionally used to extract and preserve herbal properties, apple cider vinegar lends both effectiveness and integrity to the formula.
 
Organic Witch Hazel
A classic botanical for topical care, witch hazel helps tone the skin and provides a cooling, soothing carrier for essential oils.
 
Herbal Infusion
Our hand pressed base of ACV takes up to 12 months to mature, but that's not the end of the journey. It is then macerated with organic Rosemary, Lavandin and Peppermint for a further 6-8 weeks before being married with a proprietary blend of essential oils.
