Why Bug Potion + Clear Zinc?

When You’re Out All Day

Regular Bug Potion is perfect for evenings, short hikes, and everyday yard time. But when you’re on the water, at the beach, or moving for hours, you want something that stays put and adds a little extra protection.

Clear zinc and titanium dioxide sit on top of the skin, forming a physical barrier while the Miracle Balm base moisturizes and lemongrass helps keep bugs away.

What Makes This Formula Different
  • Triple-Action Support: Nourishes skin, helps keep bugs away, and adds a gentle barrier with clear zinc.
  • Physical Barrier, Not Chemicals: Clear zinc oxide and titanium dioxide sit on top of skin instead of soaking in.
  • Great for Sensitive, High-Use Areas: Perfect for shoulders, neck, chest, ears, backs of hands, and feet.
  • Family-Friendly: Clean, simple ingredients for people who spend serious time outside.

“We originally developed clear zinc balms for chafing and protection. Adding Bug Potion to that base was a no-brainer for outdoor families.” – Dr. Doug
