Common questions

Is NOW Foods Bug Ban Plant-Powered Insect Repellent Spray healthy?

NOW Foods Bug Ban Plant-Powered Insect Repellent Spray scores 92/100 on Tallow — our clean band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in NOW Foods Bug Ban Plant-Powered Insect Repellent Spray?

NOW Foods Bug Ban Plant-Powered Insect Repellent Spray lists 9 ingredients, starting with Citronella Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Rosemary Oil, White Thyme Oil and Water. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.
