Why use Bug A'uwe!
(pronounced like Ow-way!)
DEET Free
DEET is a pesticide in many repellent products. DEET has been suspected to cause brain seizures or blood toxicity in children. BUG Auwe! contains no harmful pesticides as a plant based remedy for repelling and soothing bites.
Essential Oils
Our pledge is to create a product of the highest quality which includes Citronella, Lemongrass, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Lavender and Peppermint essential oils.
Anti Inflammatory
In addition to protecting from bugs when applied before exposure, this repellent can also be applied AFTER being bitten to bring down any swelling.
Eco Friendly
Made in Hawaii, our natural plant based formula is intended to be safe enough for babies, respecting the animals we share the earth with and protecting our aina (lands).
Moisturizing
As this repellent was developed to be safely used on a daily basis, it was important to be functional in protecting the skin's surface with Vitamin E and the herbal healing properties of Aloe Vera and Witch Hazel.
Silky, non-greasy feel
Bug A'uwe is specially formulated to have the perfectly silky coverage of the skin yet a light, non-greasy feel.

What does 'Auwe' mean?
A word commonly used in the Hawaiian islands, it's an expression used when something bad or sad has happened. Used like "darn" or "Oh no!" or "I'm sorry, that's awful!" Sometimes it's a cry for help from being in great distress.
For example,
Child, "Popo (Grandma in Hawaiian), I lost the bracelet you gave me."
Grandma: "Auwe!"
Formulated to be pH balanced for the skin. Perfect for babies, adults, mothers, hikers, campers, family and friends. Basically, everyone.
Our Clients Say
I am a tasty morsel for all biting insects.
We first tried Bug Auwe at the botanical garden on the Big Island (love
this place). It worked GREAT - NO BITES AT ALL. As we were walking a
younger girl was in distress over the bugs swarming her. We shared our
spray and suggested she get some at the shop on her way out.
When we returned home and used up our supply I ordered more. I had
a question and Sandy answered quickly and in detail. I decided to
order a variety. Citronella ( my personal favorite so far), Orange and Cedarwood. They came quickly and were nicely packaged. (side note - remember to shake the up before you spray).
Yesterday we took a pre-sunset walk on Deer Island at the north end of the SF Bay. It is near the Petaluma River and in a marshy area. As we started our walk we passed a couple who warned us that if we did not have spray on we should turn back. So we knew it would be a test. I had the orange on and my husband had the cedar. Neither of us got any bites ! HOORAY !
I LOVE this product and the company. My suggestion is to order one of each fragrance and pick your favorite after that.
