The Bug Balm | All-Natural Insect Repellent
Plant-powered bug protection that feels more like luxury body care than bug spray.
Kate McLeod The Bug Balm is a deeply moisturizing solid body treatment designed to naturally repel insects while nourishing the skin. Powered by a botanical blend of citronella, geranium, cedarwood, rosemary, peppermint, and lemongrass, it helps keep bugs at bay without synthetic fragrance, DEET, or sticky residue. Rich cocoa butter and nutrient-dense plant oils melt into skin for lasting hydration, making it ideal for hikes, beach days, camping trips, and summer evenings outside.
