If you've tried our Bug Soother® Wipes, you may have noticed something a little different.

Unlike traditional moist towelettes, Bug Soother Wipes aren't soaked in water. That's because they're infused with our concentrated, essential oil-based Bug Soother formula—the same plant-based formula you know and love.

Oil-Based, Not Water-Based

Most wipes are designed to clean your hands or surfaces, so they're saturated with water and cleansing ingredients.

Bug Soother Wipes have a different purpose.

They're designed to apply our insect repellent directly to your skin, which is why they're infused with essential oils instead of water. The wipe itself may feel much drier than a typical wet wipe, but it's carrying a concentrated layer of Bug Soother that transfers to your skin as you apply it.

Why Does My Skin Feel Oily?

Because Bug Soother is made with plant-based essential oils, you may notice a light oily or greasy feeling immediately after application. That's completely normal.

In most cases, the oils absorb into your skin within a few minutes while leaving behind the natural scent that helps repel mosquitoes, gnats, and no-see-ums.

If you feel like there's more product on your skin than you'd like after a few minutes, simply blot the area gently with a clean tissue. You'll remove any excess oil while still leaving product on your skin.

Tips for Using Bug Soother Wipes

To get the best experience from your wipes:

• Apply evenly to exposed skin.

• Allow a few minutes for the oils to absorb naturally.

• If needed, lightly blot excess oil with a clean tissue.

• Dispose of the used wipe after use.

Why We Chose an Oil-Based Formula

We believe effective insect protection doesn't have to rely on harsh chemicals or heavy water-based carriers.

Our wipes deliver a concentrated application of Bug Soother's essential oil blend in a convenient, travel-friendly format that's easy to toss into your backpack, purse, tackle box, golf bag, diaper bag, or carry-on.

Whether you're headed to the lake, the campground, the ball field, or your own backyard, Bug Soother Wipes make it easy to apply repellent wherever your adventures take you.

The Bottom Line

If your Bug Soother Wipe feels different from a traditional wet wipe, that's by design.

It's not meant to clean your skin—it's meant to deliver our concentrated, essential oil-based insect repellent. Give the oils a few minutes to absorb, and if necessary, simply blot away any excess with a clean tissue.

Different? Absolutely. Effective? That's exactly what it's designed to be.
