Tallow Bug Repellent Balm | Natural DEET-Free Insect Repellent by Birch & Oak

Tallow Bug Repellent Balm — natural, DEET-free insect defense that's actually good for your skin.

Keep the bugs off without coating your skin in synthetic chemicals. Our Tallow Bug Repellent Balm pairs nutrient-rich, grass-fed beef tallow with neem oil and a powerful blend of plant essential oils that insects can't stand — so you stay protected and your skin stays nourished. A little goes a long way.

No DEET. No synthetic fragrance. No petroleum. Just honest, skin-loving ingredients.

Why a balm instead of a spray?
Most repellents are harsh, drying, and full of chemicals you'd rather not absorb. Grass-fed tallow is deeply compatible with your skin — rich in vitamins A, D, E & K — so it moisturizes while it protects. The balm format means no aerosol, no mess, and long-lasting staying power.

The bug-repelling blend
Neem oil plus a blend of essential oils long used to deter insects: citronella, cedarwood, thyme, geranium, lemongrass, peppermint, clove, and rosemary.

What it's good for
✔ Cookouts, hikes, gardening, and evenings on the porch
✔ Anyone avoiding DEET and synthetic repellents
✔ Sensitive skin that reacts to conventional sprays
✔ Tossing in your bag, car, or camp kit

How to use: Swipe a small amount over exposed skin and rub in. Reapply as needed, especially after swimming or heavy sweating. A little goes a long way.
