Made to Care

Bug Soother was made by a midwestern grandmother for the people she loved most. That spirit of care still defines the brand today. Its formulas are designed to be kind to skin of all ages—even babies over six months and pets—without the harsh chemicals often found in conventional repellents. The light, refreshing scent and non-greasy feel make it a pleasure to use, whether you’re hiking, gardening, or heading to a backyard barbecue. And behind every bottle is a real team of passionate makers in Iowa, working hard to ensure you and your family can savor the outdoors in comfort.

Naturally Minded

Bug Soother believes that protection from bugs shouldn’t come at the expense of the planet. That’s why they use plant-based ingredients and consciously avoid harmful additives like DEET, making their products a safer choice for both people and pollinators. With every batch made in small quantities and bottled locally, they reduce environmental impact while supporting sustainable practices. From ethical sourcing to recyclable packaging, Bug Soother is committed to leaving a lighter footprint while helping you make the most of nature.

Bug Soother

Born out of necessity and nurtured with care, Bug Soother is a family-founded brand that blends practicality with kindness. When a tough Iowa summer in 2008 brought relentless mosquitoes and gnats, a grandmother set out to protect her family—and ended up creating a gentle yet effective bug repellent beloved by thousands. Made with simple, skin-friendly ingredients like lemongrass essential oil and castor oil, Bug Soother’s signature formula is a safe alternative for families, adventurers, and even pets. Today, it remains a trusted favorite, proudly handcrafted in the heartland and committed to helping people enjoy the outdoors, bite-free.
