Tick Season Is Here: Why Natural Protection Matters More Than Ever

As summer approaches and outdoor activities pick up, so do tick populations across the country — especially here in the South. From hiking trails and baseball fields to gardens, farms, and backyard evenings, tick exposure has become a growing concern for many families.

One concern gaining increasing attention is Alpha-gal syndrome, a condition linked to certain tick bites that can trigger an allergic reaction to red meat and animal products. Alongside other tick-borne illnesses, it’s left many people looking for safer ways to protect themselves and their families while still enjoying the outdoors.

At MOOey MOOey, we wanted to create a product that aligned with our values:

• simple ingredients
• natural outdoor support
• skin-loving nourishment
• no overpowering chemical smell

That’s why we created our Natural Tick Repellent — a plant-powered blend designed to support outdoor protection while still feeling like skincare.

Why We Chose These Ingredients

Grass-Fed Tallow

Unlike many traditional repellents that can feel drying or harsh on the skin, grass-fed tallow creates a nourishing base that glides on smoothly and helps moisturize while outdoors.

Tallow closely resembles the skin’s natural oils, making it a great choice for families looking for a more natural approach to skincare and outdoor products.

Cedarwood

Cedarwood is one of the most commonly used essential oils in natural outdoor protection blends. It’s known for its warm, earthy scent and is frequently chosen for helping repel ticks and insects naturally.

We also loved that it gave the product a more elevated outdoors scent rather than the strong smell associated with traditional bug sprays.

Rose Geranium

Rose geranium has become especially popular in natural tick-repellent blends due to its reputation for helping discourage ticks.

Its soft floral notes help balance the blend while contributing to the overall outdoor protection profile.

Lemongrass

Lemongrass adds a bright citrus note while containing naturally occurring compounds insects tend to dislike.

This ingredient helps freshen the overall scent while supporting the effectiveness of the blend.

Lavender

Lavender was chosen to help soothe the skin and soften the scent profile, making the blend feel more balanced and family-friendly.

Peppermint

Peppermint adds a cooling, refreshing finish and complements the other oils in the blend while enhancing the outdoor-fresh feel of the product.

Designed for Real Life Outdoors

We created this product for everyday outdoor living:

• hikes
• gardening
• camping
• sports fields
• markets and festivals
• farm life
• evenings on the porch

Our goal was simple:
Create something that supports outdoor protection naturally while still feeling clean, nourishing, and enjoyable to use.

A More Natural Approach to Outdoor Protection

While no natural product can guarantee complete protection, many families are looking for alternatives that avoid harsh chemicals and synthetic fragrances.

Our Natural Tick Repellent was designed to be part of a thoughtful outdoor routine while prioritizing simple ingredients and a skin-first approach.

Because spending time outside should feel peaceful — not stressful.

“The Lord will watch over your coming and going…”
