Experience Behind Pure Defense

As a maker focused on safe, toxin-free skincare, I developed Pure Defense Balm to give families a natural alternative to conventional bug sprays. Harsh chemicals like DEET can irritate skin, especially for kids or those with sensitivities. Customers tell us they love that this balm not only keeps mosquitoes away, but also hydrates and soothes their skin.

Expertise in Plant-Based Protection

The oils in our balm are backed by both traditional use and modern studies:

• Lavender Oil – naturally calming to skin and shown to deter mosquitoes (PubMed).

• Lemongrass Oil – rich in citronellal, a well-documented natural mosquito repellent (NIH).

• Geranium Oil – helps repel ticks and biting insects while balancing skin.

• Cedarwood Oil – recognized for its tick-repelling and insect-fighting properties (EPA).

The balm’s base of shea butter, coconut oil, and candelilla wax hydrates deeply, doubling as skin care while providing natural outdoor defense.

Why Pure Defense Balm Stands Out

Unlike sprays that can feel sticky or irritating, our balm goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin soft. It’s small-batch crafted in Michigan for freshness, and packaged in a travel-friendly tin that’s easy to carry on hikes, camping trips, or park outings.

Trust Through Transparency

We clearly list every ingredient — no parabens, phthalates, synthetic fragrance, or DEET. This transparency reflects our commitment to toxin-free, eco-friendly skincare that works in harmony with your body and the environment.
