DEET-Free Tick & Mosquito Repellent Balm – 2 oz

Want DEET-Free Bug Protection That Actually Stays on Your Skin?

Untamed Organics DEET-Free Tick & Mosquito Repellent Balm is a concentrated, water-free outdoor balm built from grass-fed tallow, organic neem oil, and a bold blend of geranium, cedarwood, citronella, peppermint, lemongrass, clove bud, and patchouli essential oils — formulated for gardening, hiking, camping, ranch work, and any outdoor adventure where mosquitoes and ticks are unwelcome.

What's Inside — and Why It Matters

Grass-Fed, Grass-Finished Beef Tallow — Carefully rendered in-house from regeneratively raised cattle. Creates a rich, conditioning base that allows the balm to be massaged directly onto exposed skin and stay where it's applied — unlike a lightweight spray.

Organic Jojoba Oil — Provides smooth application and helps the balm spread evenly across skin without a heavy or sticky feel.

Organic Raw Beeswax — Gives the balm staying power and structure. Helps it remain on the skin longer than a conventional aerosol or liquid spray.

Organic Neem Oil — A strongly aromatic traditional botanical oil with a long history of use in outdoor preparations. Adds depth and character to the blend.

Organic Geranium, Cedarwood, Citronella, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Clove Bud & Patchouli Essential Oils — A purposeful aromatic blend selected for outdoor use. Bright citronella and geranium, earthy cedarwood and patchouli, fresh peppermint and lemongrass, and warm clove bud round out a bold, complex outdoor scent profile.

Vitamin E — Conditions the skin and supports the freshness and stability of the botanical oils over time.

Who Is This Balm For?

This balm is made for outdoor enthusiasts, gardeners, hikers, campers, parents, and anyone who wants a DEET-free alternative to conventional bug sprays — without aerosol propellants, synthetic fragrance, petroleum, or filler ingredients. It conditions your skin at the same time it works.

How Do You Use It?

Massage a small amount into exposed skin before outdoor activity, focusing on the ankles, lower legs, wrists, arms, and neck. Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating, or towel drying. Avoid the eyes, mouth, broken skin, and mucous membranes. Patch test before first use. For external use only.

Why a Balm Instead of a Spray?

A rich tallow-based balm stays where you put it. No aerosol drift, no propellants, no overspray. You control where it goes — and it stays there longer than a lightweight liquid, especially after sweating or time outdoors.

Handcrafted in Small Batches

Handcrafted in small batches in Soquel, California and packaged in a portable, reusable amber glass jar. No DEET. No aerosol. No nonsense. Built for the outdoors. Powered by whole fats and potent botanicals.
