I keep the outdoor beauty balm next on my bedside table as I can apply it before sleep. It definitely keeps any biting insects at bay. Thank you, I'd highly recommend it.
Absolutely love the body oil, I use it after showering in the morning. Gorgeous, refreshing scent too. The oil seems good value as you don't need to use a lot. I also bought the Outdoor Beauty Balm too. Both excellent products and not very long to wait for delivery Thank you!
Works well and smell nice.
Not tested it yet with Scottish midges !! Smells lovely - no nasty chemical smell.
Love the way the oil absorbs nicely into my skin. Glad for the portable stick for adding a bit more on the go. Nice scent. Was out on the river Tuesday night with no bites. I am unfortunately a bug magnet so if say yes these products work.
I’m allergic to these ingredients as well as many other bug repellents. Was hoping yours would be different and tolerable for my sensitive skin.
Store owner replied: Hi Melissa, I'm sorry to hear that you're allergic to the ingredients. We always keep our ingredients listed on our page to ensure that it's the right fit. This balm is loved by so many with sensitive skin but understand each person's skin differs. I do hope you're able to find one that works for you!
A good body oil but not quite as good as the one I currently use. Perfect to use on slightly damp skin after a shower, great to massage into tired feet too.
Magic in a stick! This balm is wonderful, I used it on a mosquito bite and it soothed it immediately, applied it to slightly peeling shoulders, moisturised and replenished, onto a graze on my leg, instant comfort . I also smeared it on the nose piece on my glasses as they were rubbing, all better now. Popped it onto my heels after a walk as my shoes had rubbed, the area just faded overnight and I applied it the next day to make sure it didn't happen again. My little rescue stick, luckily I took it on my holiday and I used it in so many ways. Just love it!
Store owner replied: Sue, we're so glad to hear you have been enjoying all the amazing uses! That's exactly what we intended and are thrilled to hear you have been using it in so many ways. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback.
The body oil also works amazingly well. It smells nice and feels great on the skin. I use it on my legs and feet all the time as the small insects love my extremities. There is one outdoor bar where I get trounced wearing sandals. I think it’s no see-ums. But no bites this past weekend. Great stuff. I’ll be back for sure. We gets bugs about 10 months/year. Thanks for this! Patrick from Florida
I have tried a lot of products for bugs. I moved to Florida a year and a half ago. And the bugs love. They love my hands and feet and ears quite well. This stick balm actually works! I keep a few at exits to the house and one in the car. Highly recommended in combination with the oil! Thanks for the great service as well. Much appreciated! Patrick from Florida
Store owner replied: So glad to hear Outdoorish has been a handy addition for you in Florida. Thanks so much for your support and feedback, Patrick!
Love the DEET free oil especially for my kids! Goodbye annoying flies and mozzies!
Love the balm for its easy mess free application! It’s very lightweight and not sticky which is a win!
Hot favourite for the kids! A great low tox option that smells amazing, doesn’t feel sticky and keeps the mozzies away! Love that I can pop into any bag, for any trip! Definitely recommend.
Such a great, go-to product for whenever we go camping, fishing or even a late arvo picnic by the water. Smells amazing and I love how it just glides onto the skin. Highly recommend!
The oil is great to put on before you head out and you can keep the balm in your bag for on the go application.
Great product..!
The Outdoor Beauty Balm is a beautiful product! Lovely texture and scent, and highly effective at keeping the mozzies away (or if you haven’t applied and do get a rogue bite, it’s excellent in calming down the sting and irritation!) Bought multiple to give to friends!
This WORKS. AND it fits in a small handbag. Don’t leave home without it! Thank you for the gift of one of these on my recent order…I regifted it immediately to a friend who was dining with me in a leafy outdoor restaurant and was being the main course for the mosquitoes !
Easy to apply, with a really pleasant scent. Thrilled to say I experienced no mosquito bites while I was gardening.
I love how easy it is to put on, it just glides! It's perfect for when you can stop scratching a bug bite and need instant relief.
I have yet to use the product. The weather has been discouraging from being outside.
Obsessed!! It smells so good, it glides on my skin and it works. I have super sensitive skin, and I use it on my 2 year old son, and I genuinely cannot fault it at all. Absolutely will be repurchasing.
Store owner replied: Kaytea, we are SO glad to hear you have been loving Outdoorish in your routine. Thanks so much for your lovely review and video :)
After 2 weeks I am bite-free walking my dog. Here in Central Virginia my biggest enemy is what we call no-see’ums. Tiny buggers that you don’t see or feel until you’ve got that itchy red welt on your skin! I love the roll-on applicator - so easy to roll and go! A big thumbs up to you Down Under!
Store owner replied: Hi Michele, thanks so much for your lovely review. So glad to hear you love the roll on application. We love being part of your adventures!
Did the trick, no bites & no foul smell either.
Store owner replied: Made our day! Thanks for your feedback, Ronnie.
Didn’t get bitten at all so seems to work well!
I go kayaking and normally get bitten but since using this I haven't had 1 bite
Did what it says on the tin & arrived very quickly from Australia.
Only used once, but worked great!
Perfect
Store owner replied: So glad you love the balm! :) Thanks so much for your review, Sharen.
Impressed with the balms non greasy texture and also with the scent, which is certainly not unpleasant or overwhelming.
Store owner replied: Hi Nicola, it made our day to hear this! So happy to hear our balm struck the right balance for you. Thanks so much for taking the time to leave your feedback.
Great product can’t wait to take it on holiday
Store owner replied: Thanks so much for your feedback, Liz. We hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Shipping was quick and product packed well. Feels nice going on and thankfully mosquitoes were not too bad the few times I used it. Thanks for a natural way to convince those pests to just leave me alone!
Store owner replied: Hi Sue, thanks so much for your lovely feedback. So glad to be able to help you enjoy the outdoors without the pesky annoyances!
I do a lot of geocaching and the other week I was out on the water, delving amongst trees and shrubbery. I wore my balm. I did not get bitten once! I normally get bad bites. Also the smell is gorgeous.
Store owner replied: Hi Melanie, wow! Geocaching sounds like a lot of fun. Thanks so much for your kind words trusting us on your adventures. We're thrilled you love our balm as much as we do!
Really nice products. I’m saving them mainly for a later holiday but it reminds me of being on safari and disliking having to plaster on all the smelly insect repellents after having a nice refreshing shower. I often said if only there was a nice moisturiser that was an insect repellent as well. Now there is!! Next step one that includes sun screen as well. Imagine that, 3 in 1!!
Store owner replied: Hi Pam, thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. We're so glad you're enjoying it. A 3-in-1 with SPF is definitely on our dream list too. Wishing you a wonderful holiday ahead!
I have tried dozens of different types of bug repellents. All for naught. At the cabin this weekend, I was the only person not bitten repeatedly by the bugs! Plus, it smells SO good! Love, love this product.
Store owner replied: Hi Lisa, wow- thank you so much for sharing this! Thrilled to hear it was such a hit over the weekend. Stories like this make our day - we’re so glad you’ve found your go-to. 💛
Smells absolutely delicious, Ive been using it as a body balm as much as a repellent!
Store owner replied: Hi Anna, so glad you love the scent! We’re thrilled you’re enjoying it as both a body balm and an outdoor essential - it’s such a handy product with all its multi-uses. Thank you so much for sharing!
Smells great bot like citronella and completely clear
My one daughter, a mosquito magnet had 2 bites. For her that was pretty good. The rest of us were bite free.
Store owner replied: Hi Darlene, thanks so much for sharing your experience :) Glad to be part of your outdoor adventures.
