A formulation for repelling insects and arthropods comprises about 0.5% by weight to about 4.0% by weight of an active ingredient and an emulsifier. The active ingredient includes a mixture of one or more natural essential oils. A method for making the repellant formulation comprises forming an oil-in-water emulsion by mixing one or more of the natural essential oils into an aqueous solution including an emulsifier, homogenizing the oil-in-water emulsion, and adding a buffer to the emulsion for maintaining a pH of the emulsion at above about 7.5. The repellant formulation is used by applying an effective amount of the repellant formulation onto the skin or fur of a mammal, clothing or other surface.

The present disclosure generally provides topically applicable insect repelling compositions, and in some embodiments, topically applicable insect repelling and UV protecting compositions. The compositions comprise a polymerization product of a polyol, a diisocyanate and at least one insect-repelling compound. The resulting polymers advantageously bond superficially to skin or hair, thereby localizing repellents and preventing systemic absorption. While not being bound by theory, it is believed that the localization of repellents to the surface of the skin renders them safer, wherein such repellents are not vaporized and do not have a disagreeable odor. The repellents advantageously interact with tactile insect activity, thereby preventing parasitic activity, such as drawing blood or the communication of pathogens.

A composition for a sterilizing solution and a method of use thereof intent to provide the user a sterile lubricant for a chainsaw/bandsaw machine, such that they inhibit the spread of tree infections from one tree to another during the process of cutting multiple trees. Preferably, the sterilizing solution includes essential oils that contain terpenes, carvacrol, eugenol, thymol, and other anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, and anti-viral elements. Further, the method of application provides the user the ability to continuously cut one tree after another without the potential danger of spreading an infection from one tree to another tree. Additionally, the method enables users to apply the sterilizing solution over cutting blades as well as over cut tree stumps, thereby sterilizing the surfaces, repelling bugs and preventing infections that are associated with the tree cutting process. Furthermore, the sterilizing solution is a plant-based biodegradable sterilizer that does not harm the environment when used.
