Unbothered

Every summer offers the same two options: get bitten, or fog yourself and your whole porch in something that smells like a hazmat situation. Unbothered is the third option — the one the plants have been suggesting all along.

Aromatic plants have long kept their own boundaries. Lavender, cedarwood, peppermint, palo santo — these are scents mosquitoes make a point of avoiding, and traditions across the diaspora have worked with them for exactly this kind of protection, of body and of home. Unbothered takes that knowing and builds it into four everyday formats, each tuned to where summer actually happens.

The Body Spray is the quick layer — witch hazel and the blend, misted on before you head out, light enough to wear like fragrance. The Body Lotion is the committed one — avocado oil and glycerin carrying the same blend, so your daily moisturizer quietly holds the line all day. The Linen Spray takes the boundary indoors and onto the porch — bedding, screens, doorways, tents — with palo santo settling the room while cedarwood keeps watch. And because the dog is out in the tall grass more than anybody, Nugget's Own Pet Spray carries a gentle, dog-dosed version of the blend in coat-conditioning coconut and jojoba.

One scent family threads through all of it — lavender softening, cedarwood grounding, bright notes lifting — tuned a little differently for skin, cream, air, and fur. So the porch, the sheets, your arms, and the dog all agree with each other, and none of it smells like a chemical decision.

Because summer should be enjoyed, not endured. Be outside. Be unbothered.
