Can I just use peppermint essential oil from the store?

While pure peppermint oil is the active ingredient, you shouldn't apply it directly to the scalp undiluted, as it can cause irritation or burning. Our Mint Prevention Spray is professionally formulated to the correct dilution ratio, ensuring it is safe for daily use on children's sensitive skin while remaining potent enough to repel lice effectively.

How often should I apply the peppermint prevention spray?

For the best protection, apply the spray every single morning before school or daycare. Lice are most active when children are interacting closely. The scent is strongest and most effective for about 8-12 hours, so a morning application provides a protective shield that lasts through the entire school day and after-school activities.

Does peppermint spray kill lice eggs or live bugs?

No, peppermint spray is a repellent, not a treatment. It is designed to prevent lice from wanting to crawl onto a head. If your child already has an active infestation or nits, the spray will not eliminate them. In that case, you need a professional manual removal treatment or a high-quality lice comb to clear the hair first.
