  • Ingredients

Arguably our best-smelling mosquito repellent, this balm rubs in easily and repels mosquitoes for two hours. Small for light travel yet packed with big protection, this repellent balm is ready to be your dependable companion for all of your outdoor adventures.

The lemony smell of this repellent balm masks our human aromas that make us attractive targets to mosquitoes. By hiding your scent, mosquitoes turn nose-blind making them unable to locate their targets (ahem, you). Wearing our balm is practically the closest thing to having an invisibility superpower.

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS:
- Castor Oil (10.5%)
- Lemongrass Oil (3.25%)
- Rosemary Oil (3.25%)
- Cedarwood Oil (2.0%)
- Peppermint Oil (2.0%)

INERT INGREDIENTS:
- Olive Oil, Beeswax (79%)

No synthetic repellents. No added fragrance. No dyes.

TESTED & TRUSTED

We test our repellent balm at New Mexico State University's Molecular Vector Physiology Lab. But what does “tested" really mean? It means that we don’t hesitate to get in the weeds—or in this case, put our arm in a mosquito cage—until we get the results you deserve.

Our balm is tested on its ability to prevent mosquito bites on a human volunteer. In the most recent study, Murphy’s Mosquito Repellent Balm repelled almost two hours longer than the untreated skin.

It's a miracle!

2 years ago
I have tried all kinds of mosquito repellents, including DEET, which I wasn't crazy about, to keep mosquitos from bothering me. Nothing worked completely--until Murphy's Naturals! My son told me about it, and I gave it a try. It is truly a miracle for me. I can smooth on the wonderfully scented balm and spend time outdoors on my patio and in my garden completely mosquito-bite free. Thank you so much for this amazing product--it has changed my life!

Alaska Approved

2 years ago
I can confidently say that this is about 98-99% effective. However, keep in mind I also live off the road system in the Alaskan tundra where we have pretty aggressive mosquitos. I've never found anything that really keeps them at bay 100%, because they are just everywhere. The fact that I can come home with two bites instead of 10 after walking to and from work through swarms of them is enough of a reason to buy this repellent balm again, as thus far it's been the most successful product I've used which is really saying something. I like that I can rub it on my face and feel comfortable with what products are going on my skin, and make sure to really rub any excess onto my hands. I've never used a balm before (the Spray version was oddly not available to ship to a PO box in Alaska or Hawaii) but it turned out to be a good choice, and I like that I can get a more thorough application with this method. I'd recommend reapplying if you'll be outside for a long period of time. Overall, I would repurchase this product.

Balm repellent

Very effective and a very pleasant smell unlike other repellents. It last long with no need to reapply often unless you are exposed to water or are sweating heavy. Works wonders for outdoors aventures.

Not working

Not really working. Put on heavy on legs and then watched mosquito land and bite. Smells ok and maybe stops some but still getting bit. Not really worth spending money on it.

Effective and moisturizing

4 years ago
went backpacking in the big horns and brought this bug repellent with. It works like a charm, and kept my skin moisturized on the trail. My only downside was that the scent from the balm was traced on my hiking poles and a marmot chewed at the handles. Overall however, the product smells great, works, and is lightweight for our backpackers out

Game Changer

2 years ago
Absolutely love the Mosquito Repellent Balm… not only does it actually work, but it also gives me peace of mind that it’s all natural so I felt good using it throughout my pregnancy and on my toddlers. Added bonus is that it smells sooo good!!! Have definitely recommended this to everyone who sees me take it out of my bag.

Second time purchasing

8 months ago
Second time buying this product and I've been thoroughly impressed with the results since first application. I am a MAGNET for mosquitos, receiving several bites within seconds, but I've never been bit while wearing this balm! Recently got it in stick form, as well, and I'm thrilled.

Yes, I recommend this product.

Best mosquito repellent available

3 years ago
Took a 2oz tin of this with me when I went camping in the high country of Colorado. Friends brought Deep Woods Off! Spray repellent. Tried both. Murphys, hands down beat Deep Woods Off! Murphys kept all of the Mosquitoes away but the Off! was not 100% effective.
