Cream:A little goes a long way! Dab small finger tip sized amounts every 4-6 inches on exposed skin - arms, legs, neck, behind ears, face and gently rub in. Take what's left in your hands and run through your hair.
Soap: Our soap is perfect for those who find themselves outdoors most days. Bathe with No-Bite-Me soap first thing in the morning before your outdoor activities - do not rinse vigorously. Be sure to use it as a shampoo for ultimate protection. Safe for lakes, streams, and septics. Make it your everyday summer soap! You can apply cream a few hours later.
How does No-Bite-Me™ work?

Essential Soaps
How long do SallyeAnder soaps last?
Our soaps are possibly the most long-lasting ones available on the market! Depending on how you use them, they can last between 1 to 2 months for body, hair, shaving --- even longer if used exclusively as hand soap. To make your bar last even longer, we suggest using one of our simple Soap Savers. These help keep the bar dry between uses by lifting it out of the water to dry completely between uses.
Are SallyeAnder soaps Vegan?
All of our soaps are vegan except for the following: Almond Goat Milk, Milk and Mint, Honey & Beeswax, and Organic Rose Essential Soaps
Does SallyeAnder use Lye to make soap?
Yes! Lye (Sodium Hydroxide) is actually a critical component in the saponification process. Saponification (the process of making soap) is an exothermic chemical reaction that produces soap + glycerin. Most major soap manufacturers actually remove the glycerin and sell that to cosmetics companies. Our soap leaves naturally occurring glycerin intact and this is one of the reasons our customers find our soap so moisturizing.
How do SallyeAnder soaps lather?
SallyeAnder soaps create a moisturizing creamy lather on your skin. We never add surfactants which artificially create suds giving the impression of cleansing. Bubbles don't equal clean! Learn more at our blog post: The Secrete to SallyeAnder's Soft Bubbles
Do you use Coconut or Palm oils?
No, SallyeAnder NEVER uses coconut or palm oil. With repeated use, these oils can actually be astringent to your skin. Our Olive Oil blend base contains Olive and Vegetable Oil.

Statement on Product Expiration
Please Read:
We do not use any artificial stabilizers or artificial preserving agents to our products.
Because we use only natural ingredients, after some time (between 6 months to a year) our soaps will begin to lose their scent or begin to discolor - they are however still safe and effective to use!
Once you open your creams or balms, we recommend using them within 3 years for highest potency. If oil separation occurs in your cream, just mix back together.
Lastly, for optimal longevity, keep caps screwed on tightly and keep product out of direct sunlight. If cream dries out due to exposure to air, or if it freezes, it is not longer useful. Never add water into the jars or tins.
Statement on Scent
Please Read:
SallyeAnder products are made with pure high grade essential oils. If you are sensitive to smell but still want the benefits of using SallyeAnder, we recommend sticking with our Unscented Olive Oil Essential Soap, Oatmeal Essential Soap or Black Soap.
Though sometimes strong, the scents of our soaps are balanced and intoxicating!
SallyeAnder creams are especially potent! Heavy Duty Hand and Foot Therapy are packed with healing herbs and essential oils.
