Bug Balm: The Non-Toxic Protection Your Family Actually Needs

There’s nothing worse than enjoying the outdoors a walk in the woods, a lazy afternoon in the garden, a family picnic only to spend the next day scratching like mad. Bug bites don’t just irritate the skin. They disturb sleep, lead to inflammation, and for kids especially, they can turn a peaceful day into a meltdown.

Most people reach for conventional insect repellent or after-bite creams without thinking twice. But flip the bottle around and you’ll likely find alcohol, synthetic fragrances, petroleum jelly, or DEET ingredients that don’t belong on your skin, let alone your child’s.

Your skin is porous. It drinks in everything the good and the toxic.

That’s why Bug Balm exists. A protective shield made only from ingredients that soothe, not stress. A balm you feel safe applying everywhere – on little legs, cheeks, arms, even on bites after they happen.

This isn’t just another repellent.

It’s the best relief for itchy skin before and after the bite.

Why Typical Bug Products Cause More Harm Than Good

Let’s be honest most bug repellents smell harsh, feel sticky, and leave you wondering whether you’ve just traded a bite for a chemical burn. Children often react more to the product than the actual bite.

Common problems with conventional repellents and after-bite creams:

Problem	What Happens
Alcohol-based formulas	Sting when applied to broken or irritated skin
Synthetic fragrance	Triggers allergies and eczema flare-ups
Petroleum or mineral oil	Clogs pores and traps heat, worsening inflammation
DEET and harsh chemicals	Linked to headaches, skin irritation, and long-term sensitivity

Your skin shouldn’t have to recover from your repellent.

Bug Balm: Nature’s Answer to Bites, Stings & Irritation

Instead of chemicals that block scent or stun insects, Bug Balm relies on nature’s original protectors herbs and oils that naturally repel insects while also repairing skin.

Think of it as a multi-use balm that:

1. Repels bites before they happen
2. Calms redness and swelling if they already did
3. Moisturises instead of stripping skin dry
4. Safe for babies, sensitive skin, and eczema-prone areas

So what makes it so effective?

Tallow — Rich in skin-identical fatty acids that help rebuild irritated skin
Chamomile & Calendula — Famous for soothing inflammation and calming angry patches
Essential oils like lavender & citronella — Naturally discourage bugs without overwhelming scent
Beeswax — Creates a breathable protective layer without blocking pores

No stinging. No stickiness. No chemical fog.

Just balm, glide, calm.

How to Use Bug Balm for Full Protection

This is not a one-trick product. It’s a family essential that earns its place in every bag, pocket, and glove compartment.

Use Case	How to Apply
Prevention (Before Going Out)	Massage a thin layer onto exposed skin (wrists, ankles, neck, arms). Reapply every few hours outdoors.
After-Bite Relief	Apply directly onto bites to reduce swelling and stop the itch spiral. Safe to layer.
For Kids at Bedtime	Rub onto bites so they don’t scratch in their sleep. Helps calm restlessness.
Camping / Beach Days	Keep it in reach sunlight and heat amplify itching. Bug Balm stops reactions before they escalate.

Why It Works Better Than Spray Repellents

Sprays sit on top of the skin. Balms melt in.

Sprays evaporate. Bug Balm stays present locking in moisture while guarding against irritation.

Sprays are designed for temporary avoidance.

Bug Balm is designed for long-term skin health.
