Allergy Warning: This salve contains sweet almond oil, a tree nut.
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 bugs haven’t stood a chance against this Bug Off Balm! I’ll definitely be a repeat buyer because this stuff is truly amazing and smells great to boot! ♥️

He likes it and the smell is pleasant. He is a constant attraction for anything that bites, so I’m hoping this will reduce the frequency of bug bites.

My husband seems to be favored by mosquitos and does not like the smell of citronella. However! After using Bug Off dabbed behind ears, wrists and knees, he can enjoy being outside without being eaten alive! I love the smell, and hubs likes it as well. We will be buying this in the future!

We love the Bug Off Balm because it does just that – keeps the bugs off! Last time I ordered, I got three – one for my Dad, my Husband and myself.
I highly recommend this product from Homestead & Chill.
Janet (verified owner) –
Put this on my Grandson while he was helping his Dad landscape. He quit complaining about the insects.
I also used while mowing and weeding in the yard did a great job.
Kate Kolstad –
Bug Off Balm works wonderfully and absorbs SO quickly/nicely into the skin, so you’re not left feeling sticky or overly scented. Easy to use and definitely effective. Very pleased with this product and highly recommend! Two families camping in the woods and nary a bite to be had. A+

This has already helped so much and summer hasn’t officially started yet. Love using this rather than bug spray and smells so much better!
Brittany Robertson (verified owner) –
This is a life saver for us in the summer! Love that I don’t smell like chemicals while still keeping the bugs away.
Sarah Flynn –
As a resident of Mississippi (also known as mosquito country!), this stuff is INCREDIBLE! Smells amazing, leaves NO residue like traditional repellants, and even my kids love it! They ask for it by name before going outside! Will forever be grateful for this product as my 8 year old is severely allergic. WORTH EVERY PENNY!
