The Derma Bug Patch is a 100% Organic and DEET-free bug deterrent

The Derma Bug Patch offers full day head-to-toe protection

Mosquitoes, flies, and ticks

Mosquitoes and other pests are attracted to the carbon dioxide from our bodies. The only active ingredient in the patented Derma Bug Patch is natural, organic vitamin B1 (thiamine). The B1 in your system from the patch masks carbon dioxide that is emitted through your pores and makes you invisible to mosquitoes. While initially insects may be attracted to the carbon dioxide of breath, once they enter into a closer look, they find your skin unattractive.

  • The only active ingredient in The Bug Patch is vitamin B1. Utilizing vitamin B1 is a safe and effective method of protection against insects and mosquitoes.
  • The Bug Patch works by providing your bloodstream with a dose of supplemental vitamin B1 directly through your skin.
  • Raising the level of vitamin B1 in your bloodstream then deters most insects.
  • Any excess vitamin B1 will simply pass through your body, it will not accumulate.
