Description
Tickle Me Not Balm
"Because some 'tickles' just aren’t funny"
The Botanical Balm for Outdoor Enthusiasts (and Reluctant Bug Buffets)
Meet your new favorite forest companion: a skin-loving balm packed with wildcrafted plantain (hand-harvested in Kootenay meadows), grass-fed tallow, and an invigorating chorus of citronella, peppermint, lavender and eucalyptus essential oils. That vibrant green hue? Courtesy of Mother Nature herself – no dyes, just pure plant power.
Why It’s Become an Outdoor Essential
While we’d never claim this balm moonlights as a superhero (Health Canada says botanical balms can’t wear capes), here’s what real users report:
• Gardeners adore the refreshing pick-me-up between weed-pulling battles
• Hikers swear by its skin-nourishing magic on the trail
• Parents love having a plant-based option for kiddos who attract attention from nature’s less charming citizens
Key Ingredients (The A-Team of Outdoor Skincare)
🌿 Wild Plantain Oil – The overachieving "weed" that soothes like a woodland whisper
🌱 Grass-Fed Tallow – Like a cozy sweater for your skin’s moisture barrier
🐝 Beeswax – Nature’s original waterproofing system
✨ Essential Oil Quartet – Citronella, peppermint, lavender & eucalyptus singing in herbal harmony
How to Use (With a Straight Face)
- Apply liberally to pulse points before venturing into "tickle territory"
- Reapply when your nose informs you the forest spa treatment has faded
- For best results: pair with long sleeves, a hat, and your most convincing "I’m not a snack" mantra
Important Sciencey Disclaimer (We Read the Fine Print So You Don’t Have To)
"This is a moisturizing balm, not a registered pest repellent. For areas where bugs mean business, Health Canada recommends using approved repellents. But we’ll always be here to nourish your skin and lift your spirits with our terrible tick puns."
