Certified organic

BugSoother offers responsible and environmentally considerate insect repellent products, made in Iowa with natural and organic ingredients to promote a healthy and responsible outdoor lifestyle.

Simply Soothing, Inc., founded in 2003, manufactured natural personal care products and home goods in Columbus Junction, Iowa. In 2008, the state of Iowa suffered massive flooding and the post-flood stagnant water drew in many gnats, which made it difficult to be outside. The founder wanted to make a gentle bug repellent so her 5-month-old grandson could enjoy being outside. She developed a gentle, natural insect repellent, affectionally named Bug Soother® which smelled great, felt great on the skin, and was safe for her grandson.
