Badger Bug Repellent Balm, Citronella & Lemongrass, 0.75 oz

When we discovered that we would need to wear bug spray every time we walked our dog after moving to a new area, I knew that I did not want all of the junk from supermarket bug sprays on our skin all the time. I picked up this bug balm after loving the sunscreen from Badger, and it has been great! The smell is pleasant, it is hydrating on the skin, great ingredients and sustainable packaging, and most importantly, it keeps the bugs away! This does feel a little bit more heavy duty than a day to day product, so I am looking forward to trying the Badger spray as well. I will definitely take this camping and hiking when we need some serious protection!

This balm has saved me and all of my friends from getting bit this summer in LA. The mosquitoes are fierce this season and this is the only bug balm/spray I trust. I actually prefer the balm over the spray because it smells better and is easier to apply.

On a recent summer trip to the North Woods of Wisconsin, I applied this before morning and evening strolls, lounging outside, horseback riding, and sitting at the water's edge at the lakes. It worked every time at keeping mosquitoes and flies from landing and biting, and buzzing close to my face. Just a small amount to the temples, tips of ears, and neck, and then on the ankles did the trick for me. The small tin was super convenient to keep with me in case a bit more was warranted. I loved not having to use the chemicals and avoiding that nasty sticky feeling of conventional bug spray. I also liked the smell.

The anti-bug balm REALLY works! I've been using it for years, since I found it in a boutique resort area food store. I buy it regularly to give as gifts. I just came inside from weeding my garden and the mosquitoes are horrible because of all the rain we've had. I applied some to my (and my husband's) face and ears and it helps so much. I love the smell too, and it feels great as a moisturizer. We use it every time we sit out. LOVE THE STUFF!!!

I use this on exposed skin, it works great! I've watched mosquitoes buzz in towards me and then fly away before landing, multiple times! I enjoy the same (and honestly sometimes better) bug protection than my DEET friends. When I use this everyone around me want to use some because it smells GREAT... so I've run out quick. I've found if you take a glob and rub/warm it between your hands it glides on easy. This is definitely my go-to from now on. I LOVE that it comes in a tin rather than plastic!!! I'm wondering what the plastic like wrapper the tin comes sealed in is made of? If #4 LDPE then it's recyclable, or maybe its biodegradable?
