Badger Company, Anti-Bug Balm, Citronella & Rosemary, 2 oz (56 g)

I live in the Scottish highlands and every year I get eaten by midges. This year is a different story. I am so happy I found this product. It isn’t too greasy and doesn’t look like I have anything on my face when applied. I also smell nice. However if you have this on for days on end you can feel a bit sick with the lemon like smell. The tin will last more than a year. I’ve used a handful of times and it still looks unused. Remember to spread the balm around your ears too as the midge is not fussy where she bites! Handy wee tin fits in pocket and natural ingredients are great for my ultra sensitive skin.

レモンバームの香りが好きで購入しましたが、虫刺されには、今ひとつ？ すぐに痒みが治らないのが残念。

逆に虫が寄ってくる。アブの大群が私だけに襲って来て酷い目に遭いました

I first came across this when I was in Canada, so I was really pleased to be able to buy some more in the UK. It works very well repelling flies and other flying insects when out walking. It’s a large tin so I tend to take a small amount out to put in an old lip salve container. The smell is also not too bad, very pleasant indeed.

We bought this for a recent trip to Peru which included time in the Amazon rainforest after reading many glowing reviews on a variety of websites. We bought one tin, looked at it and thought we'd need a second for the 12 day trip. How wrong we were - we only really used half a tin - although we didn't need to apply it every day of the holiday as some locations didn't need repellent. We really wanted to avoid DEET as the smell is hideous.. It is a bit gloopy, and it's very easy to transfer on to your trousers if you rest your arms too soon on your legs when sitting. We did still get bitten, which I think is unavoidable, but not as much as we have done on previous holidays. It's definitely better than DEET and will become our new go to repellent.
