Made locally!
We’re two sisters born and raised in Yellowknife and we first made this product to work for us. Now, we offer our solution for a healthy, more enjoyable outdoor Northern summer experience to others! To ensure the consistent quality of our products, each Thyme Off product is handmade by us in small batches, right here in Yellowknife.
Evidence-based formula made for NWT varieties of mosquitoes (and more!)
There are 3,600 varieties of mosquitoes, and only a handful of these varieties are found in the NWT. Most natural bug repellents are heavily formulated with citronella. After a thorough literature review of essential oil efficacies across different mosquito species, we discovered that there are much more effective plant extracts to use up here! We created Thyme Off using science, pragmatism and a nose for appealing unisex scents!
Our all-in-one salves not only protect you, they heal you
One of us is a nurse, and the other is an accident-prone scientist with eczema. We wanted to make a product that makes taking care of your summer skin a breeze. Our all-in-one salve contain organic beeswax, sunflower, neem and sweet almond oil, making it a non-comedogenic, deeply moisturizing, anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, cure-all for all skin ailments. Nourish your skin while you heal existing bites and protect it from new ones.
It smells GREAT
Thyme Off has a fresh, herbal scent that makes you smell great to humans and bad to bugs. We promise, you will look forward to putting it on and smell great, even after a few days in the bush
