Whole ingredients, nothing hidden

What's inside — and why

Grass-Fed Beef Tallow

What it is: A rich, traditional balm base from cattle raised on pasture.

What it does: Conditions exposed skin and supports a healthy-looking moisture barrier while carrying the botanical oils.

Why it's here: It gives the balm its dense, nourishing feel and separates it from ordinary sprays and watered-down lotions.

Organic Beeswax & Jojoba Oil

What it is: Sustainably harvested beeswax paired with lightweight organic jojoba oil.

What it does: Beeswax gives the balm structure and staying power; jojoba adds smooth glide without feeling overly heavy.

Why it's here: Together they create a firm, spreadable outdoor balm that stays put on ankles, wrists, arms, and neck.

Organic Neem Oil

What it is: An earthy botanical oil traditionally used in outdoor body care formulas.

What it does: Adds depth to the formula and supports the product’s rugged outdoor profile.

Why it's here: Neem rounds out the tallow base and sits naturally alongside the repellent essential oil blend.

Research-Informed Essential Oil Blend

What it is: Organic geranium, cedarwood, citronella, peppermint, lemongrass, clove bud, and a low level of patchouli.

What it does: Selected for botanical tick and mosquito outdoor use, with patchouli used lightly to soften sharper notes into a deeper, woodsy scent.

Why it's here: Each oil is listed at a clear active percentage so you know exactly what’s working in the formula.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this DEET-free?

Yes. This balm uses a botanical essential oil blend at listed active levels — no DEET, no aerosol, and no synthetic fragrance.

How do I use it outdoors?

Apply a small amount to exposed skin before outdoor activity. Massage in well, focusing on ankles, wrists, arms, neck, and lower legs. Reapply as needed after sweating, swimming, or long hours outside.

What does it smell like?

A woodsy, outdoor botanical scent — green from geranium, warm from cedarwood, bright from citronella and lemongrass, with a soft patchouli finish. It is intentionally scented from the essential oils.

Is it safe for kids?

This product contains essential oils. Keep out of reach of children. Patch test before first use, avoid eyes and broken skin, and discontinue use if irritation occurs. For external use only.

Will it feel greasy?

It is a rich, water-free balm, not a spray. A little goes a long way. Warm a small amount between your fingertips and massage in until evenly spread — jojoba helps it glide without feeling overly heavy.
