Oh, mosquitos. They are horrible, making a fun picnic or outing much less fun. Bug block to the rescue, right? Sure. But is all bug block safe for our skin?
I’m super picky about anything that goes on our skin. Why? Because our skin is our largest organ. Because what goes on our skin goes into our body. Because what goes into our body effects our overall health. Thanks to our son, Malachi, we’ve learned how to treat our skin well so that our overall health will be better. It really is amazing how important it is to take care of our skin.
So while I’m not a fan of mosquitos, I’m even less a fan of spraying harmful chemicals all over my family to avoid bug bites. From Parkinson’s to cancer to behavior issues, I feel that the possible issues that we can face as a result of bug spray are not worth the risk.
I’ve told you all about how the MadeOn Lotion Bar has saved my poor, dry, broken out hands and have made them continually soft and free of pain. I love MadeOn and am so thankful to have learned about their wonderful company and products.
Recently, I had the chance to try the MadeOn Bug Block, which is just as safe, just as non-toxic, just as easy to use as their Hard Lotion Bar that I love. Not that this matters one way or the other with how it works, but can I just say how much I love the way Bug Block smells? Yes, it really smells good. Even my boys said this, and trust me – my boys aren’t so much into caring about how products smell. (Unless it’s bacon…)
Great, so it smells good – but how does it work? Well, here’s my story:
Last week, we sent Asa (our 14 year old) outside with orders to remove all of the green overgrowth on one side of our house – not a fun job, and one that is typically quite mosquito filled. I handed him the MadeOn Bug Block and had him rub it all over his arms and neck and face. He spent a good part of the morning outside with vines and mosquitoes for company. Fun.
Later, I went out briefly to help all the younger boys haul off all the branches and vines that Asa had taken care of earlier. I really only planned to be outside long enough to give some direction, so I didn’t take the time to use the Bug Block. Mistake. I ended up staying out longer and helping more than I had intended, so one hour and several mosquito bites later, I came back inside.
While I tried not to scratch, I asked Asa how the Bug Block had worked. His response was, “Hmm. I don’t think I got bit at all while I was out there. Maybe there just weren’t any mosquitoes?”
Oh no. The mosquitoes were there. I didn’t see them either, but I felt them. Remind me to put on Bug Block next time. It totally kept the mosquitoes away from Asa.
So that’s my MadeOn Bug Block story. It works and it’s completely non-toxic and safe for you and your kids. How wonderful that we can take care of our skin and avoid bugs at the same time. Summer is saved!
I have been looking for a natural bug repellent solution. This sounds wonderful! Thanks!
Yay – I’ve been looking for a safe bug block and just started considering the Made On Bug Block. I’d love a chance to try it for free! Thanks!
I would love to try the lotion bar… pick me!
I would love to find a bug block that is natural and really works! My son and I get eaten alive whenever we go outside!
This sounds perfect. Something natural that actually works! Pick me! :-)
would love to pick up some of this! My mom and mommaw loved their bars I got them for Christmas. Mosquitoes in AL are no fun and they love me! :(
I would love to try the bug block as i get bite all the time.
Would love to try this on our Michigan mosquitoes! Thanks for the chance!
Would like to try this to see how it works for our family.
I would love to win! I love Madeon Lotions!!!
To receive a sample of a bug blocker that actually works for my 6 yr old would be a blessing. It seems that bugs find him particularily appetizing.
Bug blocker is needed where we live, would like to try it.
I have been looking for a good bug block. We are mosquito magnets. Would love to try the bug block. I am going to go look at the site and see what else they have too. Love the story.

Would love to win! We need some non-toxic bug block here.
Dr. Laura
This sounds wonderful! My poor girls get eaten alive every summer by those pesky mosquitos! The welts that they get are just awful. Would love to try this! :)
my hubby is so bothered by bugs!! so this would be perfect!
Wow neat product, I am especially delectable to the little critters I am going to order something even if I don’t win :), but I still hope I do.
I would love to win! Thanks for the opportunity :)
Great giveaway! I actually just ordered a bug bar, but would love to try some of her other products.
Oh how I need the lotion AND the bug block right now! I milk our goats and my skin gets so VERY dry with all the hand washing and equipment washing that I do, my skin is close to cracking in some areas.. I was milking the other night and all the sudden mosquitos were EVERYWHERE. I was only out there for about 10 minutes and I came in with at least 10 bites – and they itch so much!
This looks fantastic! Thanks for the giveaway.
Wow, yet another great giveaway! Hope I win this time! Love your site….
Would love to try it! Do you think it’s safe for babies?
I’d love some! I have some natural repellent, but it stinks so bad we never use it.
Ooh, pick me! Our back yard is bug-central.
Oooo! That bug bar would be great for my little ones!
This sounds fantastic. My 1 year old was born 3 months early and still outgrowing some lung issues. I’ve been wondering what to use for repellant that wouldn’t be an irritant. My only idea was Skin So Soft, but then he’d smell “girlie”. Thanks for turning me on to this!
I really want to try this. I love that it is non-toxic and smells good. I hate the spray stuff and I don’t think my daughter would take kindly to being sprayed either :-)
Oh how we need this!! There are lots of mosquitos in Texas and I love that this in non toxic!!
Comment! :)
Sounds like a great product. LOVE their hard lotion bars!
I would love to try these products! I tend to get dry skin, but my son has it worse! And he hates the feel of lotion. My husband needs the bug block to keep the mosquitoes from eating him alive!
We’ve been using the Tropical Traditions Insect Repellant, but I’m quite happy to have a broad exposure to more things good & natural!
I love the hard lotion bar. Can’t wait to try the bug bar.
Thanks.
If anybody is interested in making their own…here is a recipe THAT WORKS! :)
http://www.icanteachmychild.com/2011/06/make-it-natural-mosquito-spray.html
I make my own bug spray tincture with an herb mix from Bulk Herb Store, and it works GREAT! This would be fun to try too!
That sounds great! Would love to win. :)
What a GREAT giveaway! I love the products that I’ve already tried and $50 would give me a chance to try some new items! Thanks for the opportunity!
I am anxious to try this! All of my family just gets eaten alive by mosquitoes, but I just can’t spray myself or especially my kids down with poison. Thanks for the advice!
How great to have something natural. Regular bug sprays are so nasty and chemically. I would love to have some made on products for our family!
Oooh, I totally want to win this! Thanks for the chance!
This stuff sounds great!
This sounds awesome!!! My little guy suffers terribly from bug bites! We are swamped with them this summer for some reason!! We have to rush in and out of our house and cars so we don’t get bit! I would love to try this for free to see if it is something that will keep them away!! :)
I would love the Bug Block! I think it would be great to use on my son.
Count me in, please!
Our family would like to try to insect repellent. I recently made my own bar lotion using her recipe and my dog ate most of them! They are very nice.
bug block is greatly needed here!
Would love to try their stuff!
I would love a chance to win! Thank you!
The test for us was the soccer fields and yes, it does work. After about an hour and a half, though, it should be reapplied if you stay in a place with tons of mosquitos (again, think soccer fields!). A complaint of my older children is that it takes more time to apply everywhere than a spray and also more effort (the rubbing all over) plus they don’t like that everyone is sharing a bar(sweaty soccer skin and all) so a couple draw backs for my family.
I am so excited about this product!!!
Sounds like a great product. Would love to win it!!
I’d love to try it! My kids could definitely use something like this :)
I am SUPER allergic to mosquitoes!! (My leg can swell to double the size from one bite!) I’ve been looking for a natural way to keep bugs off me so I can go outdoors this summer!! This would be a GREAT way to try it!!
LOVING the idea of this product since we recently discovered “biting fly” bites on all my girls’ necks!! I guess they don’t like the boys as much! THanks for the giveaway!
Would love to try this! Thanks!
Would love to get some made on products for my birthday :) June 27
Mosquitos eat me alive! I would love to try this.
Love the idea of something non-toxic that might actually work on the “nuclear” sized mosquitoes that try to carry away my unsuspecting children. Regardless of winning the GC, I’m definitely ordering this one to try.
I would love to try this! My son is too sweet and the mosquitos love him! I hate the idea of chemical bug sprays–this sounds ideal!
Thanks to the Missouri River flooding in our area, the mosquitoes are terrible this year and bound to get worse! I would love to try an all-natural solution to stop those bites!
I LOVE their lotion and can’t wait to try the bug block,too!
Great giveaway Laura. I’d love to win.
Wow, what timing, we were just trying to figure out what to do about all the bug bites the kids were coming in from outside with! We could really really use some bug block! Thanks!!
Oh, I need to try this. The bugs like me….
LOVE the lotion bar and can’t wait to try the bug bar!!
Would love to give this a shot, with such a late wet spring the bugs are out in full force and my 3 boys are getting eaten alive!
I’m so glad to learn about this! My daughter and I both have bad reactions to mosquitoes (really fast heart rate, trouble breathing) and I’ve been looking for a safer solution. Thanks!
I think I will buy this!
We just moved to Montana where we live in a mountain marsh surrounded by moose and mosquitoes! This would be wonderful!
We need to get something without chemicals–my son gets 3-day goose-eggs when he’s been bitten. It looks like he got in a fight!
Sounds great!! We have several boys whom the mosquitoes seem to love!
Now that is one heck of a testimonial! Thanks for the post:)
I’m still stuck on the lotion bar concept – sounds wonderful!!
Would love that – I’m one of those people who always gets bitten when the others around me don’t!
Sounds like a great product! I’ve been experimenting with some homemade bug sprays, but would love to try this! HATE puting deet on my kiddos!
so excited about this product, really would like to try it.
That sounds like something I need! Bugs just LOVE me!!
My youngest son and I are mosquito magnets! We could really use this.
Looks like a great product. Please enter me for a chance to win!!!
We have a little marsh right next to our complex, which is really lovely to look at but definitely contributes to mosquitoes. Please enter us:)
Would love to win this giveaway so I can try out the bug product!! That’s the only think I disklike about summer months… the bugs!!
Please enter me! Mosquitoes love me.
to coin someone’s phrase — “comment” =)
Must try this bug block before my grand kids get hauled away with the mosquitoes.
You wouldn’t think we would need mosquito protection down here in Phoenix, but there are lots of foreclosed houses with pools that did not get drained before the people left – perfect breeding grounds. Ick! Sounds like a great product line.
I just decided to order some MadeOn lotion and bug block for the first time! Maybe I can try my first order for free if I win!!!
This product sounds great. We seldom use bug stuff, so it would probably last a long time. Does the bar loose its effectiveness after time, or expire?
My hubby swells and itches for days from mosquito bites. We would love to try the Bug Block. We love the hard lotion bar.
Yay!
I REALLY want to try this! Thanks!
Oooh, I need this. Badly.
Just yesterday I was thinking of figuring out a way to make my own safe bug repellent – would love to have this!
I’d love to win!
I hate putting chemicals on my kids so I am looking forward to trying this!
Christine
LOVE their lotion !!!
I NEED this! Dying to try this! Especially because mosquitoes around our area have tested for West Nile :(
Oh, my this is my kind of giveaway! We’ve got the basic bar, but I’d love to try the chocolate and the bug block too. So nice to have an option that is something I feel good about on my kiddos skin!
Take care and thanks for the great giveaway,
Heather

I love making and using their hard lotion, chapstick, and face moisturizer. We live at 3000 feet, so we could really give that repellent a test! :-)
I would love to try this! I have not tried all the non-deet bug sprays/lotions, but the few I have tried did NOT work at all. I am a mosquito magnet and would love to have something non-deet that works AND doesn’t smell bad :)
Wow I’m so happy to hear of a safe bug block

I just ordered the lotion bar and bug block last night!

There are so many mosquitos here in Virginia and they love to bite the kids and me! I have some natural bug spray, but it stinks. Makes me want to bathe after having it on! It would be so awesome to have a safe, natural product that smells good!
i love made on! yes please

Thanks for the info?
Just walking outside we need bug spray due to living right by the woods and a creek. This would be a great alternative to bug spray.
Would love to win, thanks for the giveaway!
I’d love to try it! The lotion bars sound great!
What a great way to try these products!!!!
I have been wanting to try Made On products since reading about them on your blog. The bug block sounds really great. Thanks for the offer!
I have some of their Hard Lotion which I love. I need to buy more in the next few weeks and would like to try the Bug Block.
Going to the site now! I can’t imagine having a “good-smelling” bug block! Can’t wait to try it!! Hope I win too!
What a great product! Hoping to win!
I had a friend tell me how great the hand lotion bars were! I can’t wait to try several now; especially to keep bugs at bay!
I recently tried MadeOn products.I love them. I do have a hard time rubbing it into my baby’s ezcema prone skin but it feels great on mine. The diaper cream works great too.
I would love to try this product. Mosquitoes are terrible where we live!
I would love to try the Bug Block!
I would love to win this. I am liking it so far and my Dad is too. (Father’s Day gift to a Dad that uses Super Glue to keep his fingers from bleeding because they are so dry and cracked)
I tried MadeOn lotion and I love it! The bug block sounds interesting.
I love these products!
Something I could really use! Thanks for the giveaway.
Our family LOVES camping AND we live in the country. My son is actually on 2 different antibiotics right now from a mosquito bite that he scratched and it became seriously infected. Those little bugs are terrible! I am headed over to buy some of the bug block right now, thanks for sharing!
I’d love to have a working mosquito repellant — haven’t actually found anything that works for me. Thank you.
I already love their hard lotion, would love to try the bug block!
Thanks for the chance to win. Mosquitos are everywhere right now in Minnesota with all this wet weather we have had.
i would love to try their products. especially since i get bit up every time i’m outside for 2 seconds.
We are going camping soon and I would love that bug block! My little guy gets big welts when he is bitten! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh, yes, please! My middle child gets HUGE welts from mosquitos, so this would definitely be handy. Thanks for the chance at such a great giveaway!
I would love to try their products.
Hi Laura, I just discovered your blog (read through all the archives!)and am learning so much! Thank-you! I would love a chance to buy some of the madeon products
Oh yes, this product would be good. Our first fight ever was on our honeymoon and it was over me being bit by a million mosquitoes. Good news, we made up and have been making up after arguments for 18 yrs. :-)
Love the product, but would love more to get the Bug Block as we live in bug country.
I’d love to try this! Thanks for the great giveaway!
I would love to try some MadeOn products!
Sounds like a great product. Wondering though … does it go on dry or does it leave a sticky residue on your skin?
It doesn’t leave a sticky residue – it mostly goes on dry, although for me, it leaves my skin feeling moist and refreshed.
One of my daughters is a mosquito magnet…we’d love to try this on her!
My son will be going to scout camp in July would love to send that bug block with him.
I would love to win. Been thinking about buying the DIY kit after buying the lotion bars and lip balm…they are great!
I’ve already tried the MADEON lip balm and the hard lotion bar, they are wonderful, and would love to win this. My daughter gets big welts from misquito bites.
Thanks for the giveaway! it would be fun to win!
My kids often go down to my dad’s farm to visit and get lots of bug bites. I would love to try this on them!
I love her stuff and this would be great to have around for the summer.
We don’t have many mosquitos here in the desert (AZ), but we’re planning a trip to the midwest in July. I’d love to take the bug block with me!
Oh wow! I think I’ll buy it to try anyway, but it would be wonderful to win this to try it free! :)
I love the MadeOn products! I’ve actually introduced them to several family members too. I can’t wait to try the bug block. We live in Southern TN and have had a lot of rain, which brings on the mosquitos. We really need the bug block!
I am trying to incorporate more natural products into our health and beauty routine. This soap would work great! I don’t like to use chemicals and such.
wow! that would be so nice!!!
Oh, my. I would love to try this product. We have biting gnats that are worse than mosquitoes. Nothing we have tried has worked on these bugs.
oh, they have so many awesome things in their store!!! Bug block for sure, though!!
I would love to try MadeOn!
I recently ordered a Made On Lotion bar for my dad for Father’s day. Excited to see if it works for his very dry skin! I have been eyeing the bug block. I live in South Florida, and we have to be very careful of West Nile Virus. Its kind of like pick your poison, West Nile or Deet. :) Maybe this is my answer!
Oh, I would love to try this. The mosquitoes in our backyard are so bad that I feel like we are held hostage inside. It is ruining our summer. Maybe this is the answer to our prayers.
Thanks for the great tips as always! Plus love your marriage insights.
The Cheerios example really hits home with us!
MadeOn products sound great. Love your blog.
If I won I would get some bug block and a DIY kit!
oooo! I would love to try it! bugs love me!
I have used hard lotion bars before and I am anxious to try the MadeOn brand. The Bug Bar is the most interesting to me. My grandchildren have great difficulty with their reactions to mosquito bites!
I have used the bug block only once (just got it) & I LOVE IT & the lotion bar! They are AWESOME products! Free would be better tho :) TY
I would love to win this!
While I love the hard lotion, I found the Bug Block to not work for us on a recent camping trip. The mosquitos were really thick because it has rained constantly for the last two months so maybe it would work ok where the mosquito load was a little lighter.
I would love to win the Made On lotion bar and bug block too. Thanks to Renee for providing the certificate for a winner.
I would be excited to win this!!
This would be perfect since my daughter and husband are allergic to bug bites.
Oooh! I didn’t know they had this product. We ordered from them and their hard lotion bar really helped some eczema problems we were having.
I’d love to win a MadeOn giveaway! :)
This would be wonderful to win, as I had been intending to make some, but life got in the way.
We will be camping soon and this would be great to take with us. Love the lotion bars and lip balm.
Certainly sounds like I need to try these products!
My legs are SOOOOOOOO dry. I would love to win a $50 gift card. Thanks for the offer.
After hearing you rave about MadeOn, I would be really excited about trying some of their products!
would LOVE to win this, the Bug Block would be great!
I’ve always wanted to try the HardOn Lotion. Didn’t know there was a Bug Block…Sweet!
Going to Alaska for the summer, would love some Bug Block to fight their national bird! The MOSQUITOS!!
I would love to win this as my son has such sensitive skin. We always use a shea butter soap so I bet this would work for him.
Thanks for the tip!
I am new to the whole non-toxic healthy lifestyle but I am diving in headfirst. I am a Christian mom of a 5 1/2 month old little boy, Elijah and my sweet husband Aaron. I would love to make my family healthier with these products!
Would love to try the Bug Block! We moved from high desert/arid plains to AR & the skeeters are liking this sweet blood! :-)
I would love to try the Bug Block. It sounds great for camping trips.
Oh boy, I’d love to try these products on my family! The bug block would get lots of use as would the hard lotion bars. Thanks for the opportunity!
Would love to win this, I live in Florida and I am allergic to any bug that bites. I am always buying the new and lastest product to help me outside, I don’t like having welts on my body. Thanks for the chance.
I love giveaways (even though I never win them lol)! Thanks for letting us know about a great company with great products; I just put in an order for the Bug Block, and I’m eager to try it out. :)
I love the MadeOn Lotion bars – this would be great to receive and I would be able to share with extended family too!
Sounds like a great product! Would love to try something that is safer for children AND smells good!
I would love to try this. Avon Skin So Soft does not work in Florida. LOL :)
I love MadeOn Lotion bars! Please pick me!!!
I would love to try this. It’d be nice to finally have a bug repellant that doesn’t stink =)
Ive been wanting to try several of the products. Thank you for the chance to win.
Wow! What a wonderful gift. I would love to try her products since you speak so highly of them. Please thank her from me for the chance to win her gift certificate.
[email protected]
This would be awesome! Thank you
Would love to win the MadeOn give away. Thanks for this!
I would love to win this bug block and try it on my kiddos. The mosquitoes are horrible this time of year in Missouri. I have two extroverted toddlers and am a stay at home mom, so we are outside A LOT. I hate putting the spray on them. Would love to try this product out :)
Souns like a really practical, safe product. Would love to try it.
Thanks for the heads up! I just realized that we will be going on a cabin-camping trip next month and I need bug block/spray for my 1 year old. All the chemical bug sprays make me nervous but this looks great! Thanks! Oh, and of course winning a $50 gift certificate would help a lot… there are plenty of other fun things I’d like to try. :-)
I love MadeOn! I have run out and planned on ordering the bug block for summer…hmmm, this could be a good win!
I’d love to win thanks!!!
I would love to win. My kiddos get eaten up by those little buggers!
I would really like to win!!! I love all the neat things you give away! Thanks so much for your blog!
I would love to try this for our family, Texas mosquito’s have quite the appetite! :)
This sounds great! I refuse to spray pesticides on myself and would rather just get bit at this point!
Sounds great, I would love to give their products a try :)
I would LOVE to try the Bug Block — if it works on Minnesota mosquitos it would be right next to a miracle!
Wow, that sounds awesome! I’m allergic to mosquito bites, so I always get these swollen welts when I get bit. Would love to avoid that this summer!
I was just thinking the other day, ” I sure wish I could find some bug block that is a natural product!” And here it is! Would love to win this and try the other products as well! Thank you!
Please enter me in the drawing. Five out of my six children have sensitive skin & eczema, & I would love to try these natural skin products!
Thanks!
A bug block without deet? Yay!!
Would love this! Our family just moved to Florida and we are discovering all sorts of bugs we never knew existed :) Thanks
I would love to win this. We’re going camping a couple of times this summer and I’m worried about my infant daughter getting bit by mosquitoes. I love finding safe products like this!
I found your site and it is now in my favorites list! I would love to try their products, as of now we are putting our money into being debt free, and on healthy foods. No more prossed junk..Thank you for your recipes, I always change something.They are a good jumping off point.
I am interested in trying out MadeOn products. Thanks for doing the research for good, all natural companies and sharing what you’ve learned!
I would love to win this. It sounds wonderful!
This sounds like a great product!
Just ordered a bar! Can’t wait to try it during our upcoming camping trip!!!!
Wow. Something effective, safe, and it smells good? On my way to order a bar now. We love the outdoors in summer, but really don’t love the bug potions necessary to keep us comfortable. This sounds great.
Interesting product! Would love to try it!
I would love to try this too! We live in Kansas and chiggers are SO bad. I hate spraying the kids with bug spray, but it is either that or see them miserable with dozens of chigger bites!
We’ve been looking for a safe bug repelant that really works for my scout boys. I sure hope this is it! THanks for the give away!
oooo!!! I would love to have an effective, safe bug repellant on hand! We live in the country (for which we are very grateful) and the mosquitoes can become unbearable at times! Thanks for the giveaway and the info!
This sounds like a fantastic product! What a great giveaway!
Sounds like a winner! I would love to have a chance to try these products.
I’m interested in this product. My husband’s hands crack so bad that they often bleed…his feet are worse than his hands. I was on the website to purchase the products, but thought I’d give a shot at the free gift first.
I would love to try these natural products! Most product brands out there keep getting more “convenient” and more full of junk!
Going to their website now to check out their products. Thanks!
This would be fantastic, I think, for My Wonderful Husband. Thank you for entering us. :-)
Oh yes please! The bugs here are murderous! Thanks!
Bug block sounds amazing and I would love to give it a try.
I’d love to try this product! My daughter has very sensitive skin and I always worry about what chemicals I put on her. :)
I’ve been looking for a natural bug repellent!
MadeOn sounds great. Thanks for all your info and recipes.
I just know I’m going to win! But if not, I might just have to buy this…
We just bought property with a garden spot which hasn’t been used in a LONG time and is quite overgrown. I’m sure there are a few misquitoes hiding there! Thank you for the possibilities too!
We live in a very dry climate and would love the opportunity to try these products!
I have tried “hard” lotion bars from a woman who makes them with organic ingredients and they worked so well, especially in the cold climate, with lots of snow in the winter.
I’d LOVE to try Renee’s “Made On” products as she carries a large line of products, which will definately suit my needs more completely.
Oh Laura, use calamine lotion on the bug bites.
Sounds like a great product. I would love to win so I could purchase some of it!!!
This sounds like just what we need for those annoying mosquitos that drive my kids crazy! I would love to win!
[email protected]
With all the rain we have had this spring the mosquitos are horrible. Would love to have this.
I totally need to dry this product-and I have the bug bites to prove it!
I’m all about safe products for my kids, but truth be told I get eaten alive this time of year. This product sounds great.
I’d love to try these lotion bars. You make them sound like little miracles and I’m looking for one for my son’s eczema.
Something natural to keep the bugs away. That would be great. I have been eying the other MadeOn too. I would love to win a gift certificate!
i have enjoyed the lotion bars and would love to try other products
I’ve been looking for something safe, effective, and good smelling to keep the mosquitoes away! Thanks for sharing the information with us.
Pick me!

We just stay inside when the Mosquitos are bad – this would be wonderful!
Have you tried calendula cream for itching?! We’ve found that it works wonderfully!
I’ve already tried the lotion bars and lip balm. I especially love the lip balm. I’d love more.
I would love to try it! Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for sharing the info on these products, Laura! Now WE love the lotion bars, too! :D Can’t wait to try the Bug Block!
Oh, this would be awesome as we are going to visit Ohio soon and it is buggy…oh wait, Oklahoma is buggy!
I would love to try this! If I don’t win, I may have to purchase it. It sounds great!
How neat! Would love to win this.
I would love this- thanks for the giveaway!

Ooo, ooo, me please! I’d love to drive the pests far away! Thank you.
Renee’s bug block is GREAT! I just tried a small sample size…..would love to win the giveaway and buy somemore!
I would love to win this!
I always get eaten alive by mosquitos and my sister never gets a single bite–even when we are in the exact same place! I always joked that it was because I am so sweet and she must be sour! :)
I would love to try the bug block!
I always need more bug blockers, this sounds great!
Hi! Would love to give MadeOn a try! Thanks for the opportunity!
I would love to win this for my grandma. She is overzealous in her search for natural bug repellants. She has actually skipped the last few family outings because she has not been able to find a natural product that actually works.
Wow! I have tried making my own many times and it doesn’t seem to last even an hour! I want to try some of thi stuff! :). Thanks Laura for your great site!
I so need a bug block that is safe ! I would love to try this one !

Would love to try this. The mosquitos in NC eat me alive. Thanks!
I am always looking for safe products to use on my family. If I do not win this then I am going to buy some! Thanks for all the wonderful information you post on your blog!
I would L.O.V.E. to try out the Bug Block bar! We are going on a bear hunt in Canada in August, and I hear mosquitoes are terrible there! A perfect time to try this product out! :)
I would love to try this bar! I have a VERY sensitive little boy who gets eaten all the time. So far, not much (except DEET, which I don’t use on the kids at all, and rarely on me) is very effective against the Houston mosquitoes. I would LOVE it if something natural actually worked!!!! Thanks!
Sweet! I would love to win it, I need the bug block! :)
Would LOVE to try this. Thank you!
I’d love to give this a try!
Wow, this stuff sounds amazing. :)

Yeah…would love to win this give-a-way:0)
would love to try this! thanks for the giveaway!
Great product! Been meaning to put in an order. Winning would be great – but can I just say “Wow!” 502 comments! Guess I thought I was one of the blessed few who get to read your thoughts! :) But you probably knew you weren’t. Are you even reading these at this point? I’m thinking I would probably have stopped reading at comment #400 or so. Whoops – guess you’re not the only one who gets on rabbit trails while writing. That’s why I love your blog!!! And why I don’t blog. :) But then, I just remembered – you’re probably not even reading this because you stopped at comment #400 – or maybe #500. But to read 502 comments – that would be crazy!!! Did I tell you I very much enjoy your blog!?!? :)
Going camping in July~ Would love to try~ :)
Would love to win and give this a try. My 9 yo daughter must have the sweetest blood ever because she can’t seem to escape those pesky mosquitos, they sneak in the house and straight to her room. Poor thing just swells up and scratches and bleeds and infections….well you get the picture. With the excema it is hard to find a product that doesn’t do more harm than good. Would love a chance to try this product. Thanks for the opportunity!
I really want to try this! Eventually, I’m going to cough up the cash and order some, but in the meantime, I love having the chance to win some!
I would love to try this product and possible purchase some to take with us to Africa next year. Blessings.

Thanks for the chance at the giveaway!
I need something like this! Thank you
Sounds quite wonderful!
It’s been a challenge to find a natural bug repellent that works. I’d love to try it!
Always trying to find a good bug repellent that is natural. My daughter swells up from mosquito bites and I love bee silk but never tried her bug block!
What a great product idea for a natural bug repellent! Thanks for the opportunity to enter this giveaway.
i have got to try these products!
Hoping to try this in the very near future!
I recently purchased the Made on Bug Block, it works great!!
I have been wanting to try this for awhile. Perhaps it’s time to part with some money.
One of my sons & I are definitely mosquito-bait – we’d love to try this – thanks!
Hi, I would like to try this, also. The price seems high for the size – does it last long?
Recently ordered the DIY kit and bug block- can’t wait to try them. And it would be so much fun to shop some more for free!
OHhhh – I have been looking for an all natural bug product that ACTUALLY WORKS! Would love to give this a shot!
I would love the chance to try some MadeOn products. I have been wanting to give the lotion bar a try and I’m tired of being bitten by pesky mosquitoes everyday. This would be a big blessing. Thank you for the opportunity.
Oh I almost missed this! I keep going to madeon web site, but just can’t spend the money right now, so I hope I win!
I like her lotion and would love to try the bug block. We are going camping Wednesday. I wish I had time to receive it before then.
Would LOVE to try MadeOn products!
I would definitely love to win bug block! We finally had a good rainfall, and collected a couple of barrels, so I’m just waiting for mosquitoes to nest a few eggs in them.
I used her tutorial to make hard lotion bars myself. How exciting to know she has another great product! My youngest has a hard time with any bug sprays (or sunscreen for that matter). Would love to win some!
I’m so excited to try this. We’re planning a camping trip to Yellowstone and Mt. Rushmore, so I’ll be able to use both the bug repellant AND the camping tips. Thanks!
I would love to try this! My daughter needs bug repellant everyday for day camp and I hate putting chemicals on her using the bug repellant at the stores.
I live in the Pacific North West, so it’s wet all the time… Mosquito heaven and they LOVE me. HELP!
You’ve sold me, I want to try it now! :D
I would LOVE to win one of these!
This sounds wonderful! I’d love to give it a try,
I HATE putting bug spray on my kids and would LOVE to try this as an alternative!! Thanks for the chance!
