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.
Excellent prodict. Smells divine,?!95 rhat sickjly cirtronella smell. Sad it comes from so far away, long postage and high postage costs mean I eont be able to buy ot as regularly as I would.
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.
Dors what it says
Applies just like a lightweight body lotion. Has a pleasant smell it seems to work well. So far, I’m very pleased!
Store owner replied: So glad to hear you are enjoying Outdoorish! Thanks so much for your feedback, Sarah.
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!
Country Code: US Name: Robin M Message: I live in the US, and just got back from a week in Belize. Not only did Outdoorish lotion keep me bite free on the beach and outdoors adventures, but one day we were in the jungle with ten bilzillion ants and bugs buzzing all around us. NOT ONE BITE!! I am normally a bug magnet who swells up big, red, and huge from a mosquito bite and I itch for days!! I rave about this all the time!! I hike and never get a bite! I am so so impressed with your products. I love, love, love how effective it is!
Fab non-toxic effective repellent! Scent is lovely. I use it on my toddler and she stays bite free on all our outings - bush school included!
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 !
THIS WORKS !!! I am a Midge and mosquito magnet, but I have never had one bite when I have applied this beautiful cream. It has a nice scent for humans though, and doesn’t feel heavy or greasy. Thank you for a great product !
Easy to apply, with a really pleasant scent. Thrilled to say I experienced no mosquito bites while I was gardening.
I like it as a lotion, but it did nothing to prevent mosquito bites in Vietnam. I had to go back to DEET.
Best smelling duo ever. Love the cream for everyday use, and the balm stays in my bag for top ups! Love love love!
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!
No horrid smell & kept the insects away.
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!
When I go camping I kayak every morning and end up getting bitten, my worst experience is 18 bites on my legs, this year I have none. The smell takes a bit of getting used to but to remain bite free I love it
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.
Love the fragrance!
Only used once, but worked great!
