Jungle Tested in Belize - All Natural Bug Lotion - West a-Nile-ate; Will Give Peace of Mind to Many.

Barrie, Canada;
After a year in research and development which included 4 months of rigorous testing in the rain forest jungles and coastal regions of Belize, Central America, Hempola Valley Farms will commence distribution of its newest product, West a-Nile-ate(tm) next week. Hempola describes the product as "safe and healthy lotion for the great outdoors." The product is DEET free and safe for children. The active ingredient is a secret blend of seven steam distilled essential oils... all derived from natural plants from around the world.

Instead of potentially harming skin, as often reported, when using standard DEET based products, this new product is actually good for skin. The Hempola oil base with its high concentration of Omega essential fatty acids are scientifically proven to rejuvenate damaged skin cells and deeply moisturize skin. The product also contains aloe vera, another known natural ingredient good for the skin. The directions on the product's package state: shake well, apply as needed; frequency of application may vary depending on conditions. Apply like a body lotion to exposed skin. Hempola reports excellent results in Belize and here in Ontario.

This new product may be exactly what we need to feel secure when venturing outside this spring, summer and fall.
