This makes an ideal companion for gardeners and trampers, keeping those pesky midges, sandflies & mosquitos at bay while you tend your garden and enjoy the outdoors. 

The moisturising and antiseptic properties help relieve skin irritation and dryness whilst warding off unwanted biting insects such as mosquitoes, ticks, and sandflies.

The Healing qualities make this a multi-purpose, lightweight item for any trampers pack as a natural first aid for any infections or cuts, moisturising cracked sore lips, and relieving dry or sore feet. 

• Kawakawa, an NZ native botanical, is a natural insect repellent that has anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, and mild antiseptic properties, while also having pain-numbing and skin-soothing properties.
• Citronella Essential Oil; for the zing that turns the bugs away. Commonly used in mosquito repellent, Citronella oils also has non-toxic antibacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory properties ideal for treating infections and minor wounds.
• Coconut & Hemp Seed Oils, Shea & Cocoa Butters; all have moisturising and soothing properties which calm itchy bites and inflamed skin, while enjoying the outdoors.
• Lemon Eucalyptus Essential Oil muffles the human odour mosquitoes love so much. The antiseptic active ingredient and protective properties prevent adults and children from being eaten alive by biting insects.

Too many products contain synthetic ingredients or artificial preservatives in their insect repellents which can cause mayhem with your liver and have the potential to increase the risk of future health issues. We wanted to change that. Given the bush is our happy place, we figured we needed a happy natural alternative in our kits. 

Our Natural Insect repellents have been crafted with selected properties of Kawakawa, along with NZ Hemp Seed Oil and other plant and essential oils, for like-minded nature enthusiasts. Not only does the natural repellent protect effectively against bugs but also offers a safe and gentle remedy for dry or broken skin. 

Natural Bugs & Bites Insect Repellent Directions for Best Results 

This readily absorbed healing balm is an essential product to have at home, in your car, or within a first aid kit, especially in the heat of summer. To use the balm effectively, gently scoop out the desired amount onto your hands, rub together to soften, and apply it to any exposed skin or wear it on top of clothing. Re-apply after a few hours if needed for long-lasting protection. 

This insect repellent is also used to prevent or cure dry lips, and is a must-have remedy for sore or dry feet to relieve pain, and moisturise, making this a perfect friend while enjoying our beautiful country. 

Your Organic Bug Spray Replacement 

Bug sprays that you regularly find at your local store often contain dangerous chemicals that you unknowingly spray directly onto the skin and release toxins into the environment. Recognising this, we have designed our balm formulas with active ingredients that don’t just repel insects but also consist of no chemical substances. The water-resistant balm is user-friendly for all ages and leaves the skin moisturised with a hint of aromatherapy.
