    Great for bugbites

    I haven't had a chance to use this outside against the bugs yet but did get to use it on some bugbites! It helped sooth the bite and felt like it helped with healing. Not super strong scent, which is nice, and very hydrating

    Almost perfect.

    I love Kate McLeod‘s formulas, hydrating with a pleasant scent . My only negative is while I love the sustainable packaging of this. The stick doesn’t stay up very well..

    Works!

    I live in SE Texas where it's already 95 degrees with 95% humidity in mid-May and our mosquitoes are out in full force. This bug balm is so handy; this one stay in my pocket when I'm out in the yard. Perfect size, the formula works well on pesties, I love the scent and bonus - my skin gets some needed love while keeping the bugs away. Softens and moisturizing.

    A must have

    I am a mosquito magnet, so I definitely love this product. So much better than yucky bug spray.

    Works great!

    We get eaten alive by mosquitos during the summer here in Texas. I’ve tried a bunch of other solutions and haven’t had much success, but now having a little one I really needed to find something that works and has truly clean ingredients, this fit the bill and has been working great! Bonus, it’s so easy to apply!!!

    My only complaint is the container is slightly flimsy and kinda falling apart and I’ve only had it for a few weeks.

    Overall great product!
