Meet the Aegis Balm — our family-safe woodland bug balm inspired by the forests of New England and crafted for parents who want to enjoy the outdoors with a little more peace of mind.
 
This formula was slowly developed and fine-tuned using a blend of traditional herbal ingredients and gentle aromatics that feel as good on the skin as they smell. At the heart of the balm is grass-fed tallow infused with catnip and locally sourced sweet fern — a beautiful woodland herb we source from a small grower right here in New Hampshire. (Fun fact: Sweet fern has long been used by Indigenous tribes like the Abenaki & Mi’kmaq for its insect-repelling properties!)

We paired these infused botanicals with neem oil, cedarwood, geranium, and lemongrass for a soft, herbaceous outdoor blend that’s safe for the whole family and made for everything from backyard play to summer hikes.

Micro-batch crafted, intentionally sourced, and made with the belief that kids should be able to explore the outdoors freely — and parents deserve products they can feel good about using.
