Oils
This natural insect repellent is made with organic, virgin, and cold-pressed sweet almond and sunflower oil. Sweet Almond Oil is a powerful moisturizer for dry and sensitive skin, including baby skin. It works to reduce excess sebum, inflammation, scars, dryness, eczema, and acne. Sweet almond oil can also lighten skin tone, dark circles, and support an even complexion. Sunflower oil is great for both dry, irritated skin or oily, acne-prone skin alike. It is gentle, lightweight, and will not clog pores. Sunflower oil is also highly moisturizing and healing, high in Vitamin E and oleic acid (omega 9 fatty acid) that provide natural antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It easily absorbs into the skin to lock in moisture, soothe and soften skin.

Florida gardener here. Prior to this amazing product I was chased inside in the more favorable times of the day due to gnawing bugs. Not a fan of the chemicals and smelly ingredients in other products. Not to mention, they only work part of the time. Now I’m gardening during my favorite times of these hot summer days. Thank you.

Thank you Regina, we appreciate your support!

OMG this is the BEST stuff ever! SC mosquitoes are vicious, and they leave me alone now. My older cat and I were sitting on our beach chairs the other day on our patio 😹 and there were three skeeters flying around us, all confused. When they got near to Ben, they veered off. It was awesome.
It’s also been amazing in ant and noseeum bites we got before we started using the balm. I mean really, it’s just awesome stuff. Thank you for making a truly life changing product.
P.S. Ben thanks you, too! 😻

This product works so well! Not to mention how easily it glides on and makes my skin feel all shiny and moisturized. Better than any moisturizer I’ve ever used before. But I digress… I use Bug Off Balm every single time I plan to be outdoors for an extended period of time and it has never failed me. I haven’t got bitten one time since using this balm!!! It is seriously the balm-dot-com!!!

Bug off Balm is amazing, seriously! I love the Calendula Salve and Sourdough Starter so was super excited when I saw this. I have been using it at home in the south and have been impressed but I just spent a week camping in the Tetons and didn’t get a single mosquito bite! So excited to have something to keep the bugs away that I don’t make me feel like I need to shower immediately after putting it on. Thanks, Deanna and Aaron!

I absolutely love this product! It has a beautiful smell–takes me back to summer camp using Naturapel, but smells even better and cleaner. The texture is so luxurious and melts right into the skin. It has been extremely effective at repelling bugs while working in the garden and taking my kids to the river and playground. And I feel good about them using it too. My only complaint is that the tin is a bit leaky, especially if left out in the heat. I wonder if it could somehow be made into a rollerball? Thank you for creating such a wonderful product!

Love… love…love this product. Smells so good. And non greasy. Absolutely no heavy feeling or stickiness.
My experience with use: 1. My daughter had a bug bit that was itchy… this completely stoped the itch. Amazing!
2. Finally had a reason to use in an outdoor stetting… after a few weeks of rain. I put this on as soon as we got there an no issues with mosquitos the whole night, as soon as the sun went down everyone was asking to use it.
Love absolutely everything I have purchased from homestead and chill.
I Refer everyone to them.

I am a Florida girl, born and raised. I still suffer from our mosquitos 🦟. It’s like whole different breed here. The humidity makes them bigger and more vicious. I have tried so many different “natural” products, even mixtures of just pure essential oils and it hasn’t worked like this. I am amazed and ordering for family members as summertime gifts. Especially the ones with Littles who just get eaten up. It’s all natural. I know, I trust Deanna and Aaron w/their extensive knowledge on what is most natural and really works. Thank you guys! I recommend this and the other balms 100%. I have even used the lavender balm on the dogs. That’s a whole other review. ✌🏼💚

Glad it has worked out so well for you and your family Susan, we appreciate your support!
