Natural Mosquito Protection in Aruba, No DEET Required
Aruba's trade winds keep the island famously mosquito-light compared to the rest of the Caribbean, but early mornings, dusk, and spots near vegetation can still bring out a few bites. Most travelers reach for a spray with DEET — but it's not the only option.
What's in Our Bug Balm Instead
Our Natural Bug Balm is built on local beeswax and coconut oil, infused with essential oils of lemongrass, eucalyptus, cedarwood, and rosemary — a combination insects find repellant without the harsh, chemical scent of a typical spray. It's safe for children over 2 and gentle enough for sensitive skin.
When to Apply
For best results, apply about 5 minutes before heading outside so the balm has time to settle. It's especially useful at dawn and dusk, or if you're headed somewhere shaded and still.
It Also Soothes Bites
If a mosquito gets to you before the balm does, the same formula helps soothe the itch and calm the bite afterward — one balm, two jobs.
