Bug Stop is a natural insect-repelling cream made with a powerful blend of nine carefully selected essential oils traditionally known to help deter mosquitoes, sandflies, and other biting insects. Ingredients such as lemon eucalyptus, lemongrass, lavender, rosemary, and geranium create a fresh botanical fragrance that smells wonderful to us—but far less appealing to bugs.

Blended into a nourishing base of quality plant oils and shea butter, Bug Stop is easy to apply and helps keep skin soft, moisturised, and protected while you enjoy the outdoors.

Unlike synthetic chemical repellents, Bug Stop works naturally through the evaporation of aromatic essential oils from the skin. Once applied, the warmth of your body helps release the protective scent barrier that insects dislike.

How to Use for Best Results

Allow 60 Seconds to Activate
It can take up to one minute for the natural oils to begin evaporating and creating an effective scent zone. For best results, apply Bug Stop before leaving your home, tent, car, or shelter and entering areas where insects are active.

Reapply as Needed
As the scent gradually fades, insects may begin to land again, this is your sign to reapply. Frequent application of small amounts provides the most reliable protection.

Depending on insect activity, weather, perspiration, and outdoor conditions, reapplication may be needed every 20 minutes in heavy conditions, though more commonly every 1–2 hours.

BugStop - works well for me

Mozzies love me - sigh. Did a test run today in an area of the garden where they often appear. Without any cream at least 7 mozzies feeding on one shin within seconds - applied cream inside, waited a little while and went back out. A few buzzed around, a couple landed but took off again straight away without biting and no more landed, so it seems word spread and they don't like the smell/taste - hooray. Thanks Cornelia - great natural product and I like the scent.
