Let’s Get Outside—Naturally

A Better Way to Enjoy Summer Without the Chemicals

There is just something about this time of year…Sun on your face. Kids playing outside. Barefoot evenings. Fresh air.

But if you’re like me, you want all of that without loading your family up with chemicals.

If you love being outdoors…
If you want a more natural way…
If you want your family to truly enjoy summer again…

You’re in the right place.

The Truth About Natural Bug Protection (It’s Not What You Think)

Let’s clear something up right away:

Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE) is NOT the same as lemon eucalyptus essential oil. OLE is derived from the leaves of the Corymbia citriodora and then refined into a powerful, plant-based compound used in insect repellents. And here’s where it gets really interesting…

10 Things You Didn’t Know About OLE + Peppermint

1. It’s EPA-Recognized

OLE is approved by the United States Environmental Protection Agency as a biopesticide repellent—meaning it’s plant-based and meets strict safety and effectiveness standards.

2. It Rivals DEET

Studies show OLE can perform similarly to DEET (especially at lower DEET concentrations), often providing up to 6 hours of mosquito protection.

3. CDC-Recommended

OLE is the only plant-based repellent recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That’s a big deal.

4. It Smells Fresh (Not Chemical)

Instead of that harsh bug spray smell, OLE has a light, lemony scent that actually feels good to use every day.

5. It Has Global Roots

The lemon eucalyptus tree originates in Australia and has been used for generations. And fun fact—I used it myself in the rainforest of Costa Rica, and the local guides swear by it. It works.

6. Peppermint Makes It Better

Peppermint isn’t just refreshing—it’s functional. It helps:

Create a cooling sensation on the skin
Reduce that sticky feeling
Naturally repel certain insects like spiders and beetles

7. It Works Through a Vapor Barrier

OLE doesn’t “kill bugs”—it confuses them. It creates a natural vapor barrier that makes it harder for mosquitoes to detect you. In other words… they get confused and move on.

8. It’s Kid-Friendly (Used Smartly)

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends OLE for children over 3. For younger lifestyles, we always say:
Spray gear instead—strollers, hats, shoes, even bracelets.

9. It’s Perfect for On-the-Go Use

Use it with:

Diffusers
Outdoor bracelets
Quick “drop & go” protection

Simple. Flexible. Effective.

10. It’s Been Proven Over Time

At Jordan Essentials, this isn’t new.
