Bug Off - Mozzie & Midge Repellent Bar | 60g
A concentrated, waterless outdoor balm engineered to mask human scent signals and deter flying pests without synthetic chemicals, DEET, or alcohol. Formulated on a rich lipid base of cocoa butter, tallow, and beeswax, this water-resistant shield clings to skin, slowing down essential oil evaporation for sustained outdoor protection.
The Ingredient Science:
-
Nutrient-Dense Lipid Base (Cocoa Butter, Tallow, Shea, Jojoba & Beeswax): Creates a physical moisture barrier that holds active essential oils on the skin surface, preventing fast flash-off in hot or humid conditions.
-
Eucalyptus Citriodora (Lemon Eucalyptus): Rich in natural PMD precursors that mask CO2 vapor signals that attract mosquitoes and biting flies.
-
Tea Tree: A proven Australian native botanical that deters sandflies, midges, and march flies while soothing existing irritation.
-
Lemon Myrtle: High-citral Australian native top note that provides an invigorating citrus aroma while reinforcing pest deterrence.
-
Cedarwood Atlas & Vetiver: Deep woodsy fixatives that anchor volatile citrus notes to ensure slow, extended release.
Warm a small amount between palms and smooth over exposed skin—wrists, ankles, neck, and arms—before heading outdoors. Reapply after heavy sweating or swimming.
The Anhydrous Vapour Shield Advantage
Liquid sprays evaporate rapidly in wind and heat, requiring constant reapplication. By suspending volatile native botanicals in a dense wax and tallow matrix, this balm creates a durable aroma barrier over your skin:
-
Sustained Protection: Heavy plant waxes slow the release of top notes so you stay protected longer.
-
Skin-Conditioning Defence: Nourishes and hydrates weather-exposed skin instead of drying it out with harsh alcohols.
-
DEET-Free Assurance: Pure, plant-powered performance that is safe for everyday bush walks, farm work, and outdoor living.
