A natural handcrafted bug deterent in a family sized tin which helps to naturally deters mosquitoes, flies, moths, ants, ticks and midgies.

This balm contains:
🌼 Organic olive oil or almond oil – deeply conditioning and protective
🌼 Local Beeswax (King Creek NSW)

  • Lemon eucalyptus  – primary mozzie deterrent (PMD-rich)

  • Java citronella – repels mosquitoes, flies, ants

  • Tea tree –  repels midges, ticks, flies; antimicrobial

  • Cedarwood Virginian –  repels ticks, ants, moths

  • Lavender – soothing to skin, rounds aroma


The result is a golden, solid balm. Why solid? Because hot summers can melt balms quickly, creating a mess. This beldn is shelf stable and hot weather stable. To apply rub fingers over the balm.

✨ How to use:
Apply a thin layer directly to clean, dry skin as often as needed. Reapplying is neccesary as with any natural produt. Please note: This is a natural product, if you're used to using DEET this product will take some getting used to, however its worth it! 

⚠️ Patch Test Recommendation:
Please perform a patch test before first use. Apply a small amount to the inside of your wrist or elbow and wait 24 hours. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

Every jar reflects the slow and careful process of growing, harvesting, and crafting from the earth.

Please note: Occasionally this product is made to order depending on availability of ingredients and to ensure freshness. Please allow 1-2 weeks for your balm to be ready for shipping, additional to my delivery times (SEE shipping terms and conditions on my instagram and/or website)
