Practical, we think about the environment and the unexpected!
Here is our kit:
Beauty side
My trio that goes so well with you! It is an excellent after-sun treatment (it restores the carotenoids that the skin loses after exposure, and carotenes are, among other things, responsible for good collagen and if there is redness, I don't hesitate, I put it on repeatedly to see it disappear.
My deodorant , powerful, natural, ultra-effective and leaving a lovely fragrance.
Natural soaps , since my children are hyper sensitive to the fragrances of perfumed soaps with which their skin swells and chaps until it bleeds and especially if you shower outside, you have to think about our nature.
A natural shampoo (perfect for the environment too) poured into a small travel bottle.
Practical side
The purifying formula , ultra-important, we use it to disinfect our hands, one drop at a time or for baby, I pour a drop on a small washcloth wet with water. Also use in water if you have a little hand washing to do.
My stain remover soap is very portable. Great for removing avocado stains from a white top, cocoa stains from a t-shirt, or clay stains from beige pants, and if you don't have laundry soap, you can grate it.
I used the Tranquility gel to refresh my body skin (not my face, too many essential oils) and it repelled all the insects that wanted to come near while I was gardening in the evening! I imagine it would be a good ally for you too!
Warning: Do not put on children under 7 years old, again due to its essential oil content!
Summer Spray, to be sprayed around you outside in summer (not on clothes that directly touch the skin (ok, for example, on running shoes, the bottom of jeans when walking). Do not put in direct contact with eyes and skin. Warning: Keep out of reach of children
My First Aid Kit Side
Here are the essential oils I choose:
Lavender is ideal for calming the nervous system, for exceptional skin healing (wounds, cuts, injuries, burns), as an anti-inflammatory, as a muscle relaxant, as a hypotensive, for sleep disorders, against mosquito bites, etc. Also the soothing formula for all redness related to injuries.
Tea tree if the wound has a possibility of infection.
Peppermint essential oil for stomach aches (during a trip, a pharmacist recommended 4 drops throughout the day for Charles who was 7 years old. Peppermint was very useful for him, his stomach aches disappeared immediately!)
And our new Bobôme , a real balm that soothes irritations caused by mosquito bites thanks to the beautiful properties included in these quality ingredients: shea butter, calendula CO2, lavender, German chamomile, peppermint and geranium.
Created by Nathalie 15 years ago for my baby Louis while we were traveling a lot, this was my go-to balm for him! To relieve minor irritations after a day outdoors! My son Charles had a cut claw after taking the rabbit, I applied Bobôme to him and he exclaimed "it's instant!" I chose a "cute" pot as Jonathan says, because once again, you only need a little! Easy to keep with us or slip into our backpack!
Sunny side
For the whole family up to baby: shea butter with zinc (don't add anything else!)

When I go for a walk in the forest with my dog, I put a scarf on him and some summer spray and we are both safe from mosquitoes. ❤ - Christine
Not related to this post, but I would like to mention that I used the shea/vanilla/zinc mixture as sunscreen on my skin today, I loved it! I spent the day on my tractor, outside of course, no sunburn! Plus, my skin is incredibly soft ! Thank you! - Hélène
By the way, the summer spray is great! It's definitely going to last us all summer! – Pamela
I no longer need to force the children to use shea butter/sunscreen just because of the smell ???? – Lysa-marie
Wonderful summer spray!!! Finally a healthy product ... and more effective than deet... I tested it without the product, with the spray... and my boyfriend, who had deet... I had no problems with biting mosquitoes! My boyfriend was bothered well before me! A good two hours of peace! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I'm enjoying my little corner of paradise without being bothered - Michelle
