So harmful, even governments are starting to ban them.

Chemical sunscreens and bug sprays often contain ingredients like oxybenzone, DEET, and avobenzone linked to coral reef destruction, hormone imbalance, and neurological harm.

Hawaii banned chemical sunscreens due to their devastating environmental effects, with France and Thailand following suit.

DEET, found in most bug sprays, has been linked to skin irritation, respiratory issues, and nervous system toxicity, especially in children.

If your summer essentials come with a warning label… maybe it’s time to upgrade. Let’s explore what’s really “safe” for summer:

1. It actually works. Without the chemicals.

Most bug sprays make bold claims, but fade fast especially in sweat, water, or humidity.

Bug Off Balm uses tallow, andiroba, and black seed oil to create a long-lasting, moisture-resistant shield.

You get real 3–5 hour protection without needing to reapply every 30 minutes.

2. Doubles as a Soothing Balm

Even if a bug slips through, Bug Off doesn't stop helping. Thanks to black seed oil and olive oil, it soothes inflammation, reduces redness, and supports skin healing immediately after a bite.

These natural ingredients work together to calm irritation, moisturize the skin, and help prevent scratching from turning into scarring all without needing an extra product.

3. Nourishes While It Protects

Unlike typical sunscreens that just sit on your skin, TanTallow Sunscreen deeply nourishes with tallow, beeswax, and cocoa butter, rich in vitamins A, D, E, and K.

It hydrates while shielding you from the sun thanks to zinc-oxide, a reef safe mineral, leaving your skin feeling soft, never greasy.

Perfect for all-day wear, even under makeup or during outdoor play.

4. Safe for Babies and Pregnant Women

Conventional sprays often contain chemicals linked to hormone disruption, allergies, and skin reactions.

The Tallow Outdoor Bundle skips all of that.

With just 6 natural ingredients, it's gentle enough for newborns and safe for moms-to-be.

5. Moisturizes While It Protects

Most repellents dry out your skin or leave it sticky and irritated.

Our grass-fed tallow base hydrates deeply while forming a breathable barrier that locks in moisture. It's protection and skincare in one jar.

6. Amazon-Tribe Trusted

For centuries, Indigenous Amazonian tribes have pressed rich andiroba oil from the Carapa guianensis seed to keep relentless jungle mosquitoes at bay.

Modern studies show that the limonoids and fatty acids in pure andiroba oil create a gentle yet effective barrier against mosquito bites, without the chemicals found in conventional sprays.

If it works in the world’s toughest bug territory, it will work for you, anywhere you adventure!

7. Sweat-Resistant and Long-Lasting

Whether you're hiking, chasing toddlers, or gardening in the sun, Tallow sticks with you.

The beeswax and tallow formula grips the skin better than alcohol-based sprays, holding up to sweat, humidity, and heat.

8. Made with Real Ingredients

You won’t need a chemistry degree to read our labels.

With ingredients like grass-fed beef tallow, andiroba oil, black seed oil, beeswax, olive oil, & essential oils, you can actually eat this skincare (we don't recommend it!).

No fillers, preservatives, or lab junk.
