Natural Outdoor Protection — Before & After the Bite
Native Shield is a pure-plant, DEET-free botanical outdoor spray created for people who want to enjoy the outdoors without covering their skin in synthetic bug sprays.
Use Native Shield before outdoor exposure to help deter mosquitoes, horseflies, houseflies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and other biting insects. Keep it nearby after a bite or skin irritation to help calm itching, redness, and discomfort from bug bites, poison ivy, poison oak, and other common outdoor irritations.
Made from plants and minerals, Native Shield offers a gentler approach to outdoor protection — without DEET, synthetic fragrances, artificial colors, or unnecessary additives.
SHAKE → SPRAY INTO PALM → RUB ON
Rubbing Native Shield onto the skin activates the formula.
Shake the bottle thoroughly, spray into your palm, then rub it evenly over exposed skin. Simply misting it onto the skin is not enough.
Before Outdoor Exposure
Whether you're gardening, hiking, camping, working outside, sitting around a campfire, or simply spending an evening in the backyard, Native Shield can become part of your natural outdoor routine.
Use it when mosquitoes, horseflies, houseflies, no-see-ums, chiggers, and other biting insects are the concern.
How to apply: Shake thoroughly. Spray Native Shield into a cupped palm and rub it thoroughly over exposed skin. Apply to areas that are likely to be exposed to biting insects. Reapply as needed, particularly after heavy perspiration or getting wet.
Native Shield may also be sprayed onto hair, clothing, and shoes as part of your outdoor routine. On bare skin, always remember: rub it in to activate it.
A Scent That Disappears
Native Shield has a crisp, fresh vinegar scent when first applied. Don't let that surprise you — it fades quickly. Within several minutes, even after generous head-to-toe application, the scent becomes difficult to detect.
After a Bite — Soothing Botanical Skin Support
Native Shield isn't only something to reach for before you go outdoors. Its botanical formula can also help comfort itchy, irritated skin after bug bites and exposure to poison ivy, poison oak, and other common outdoor skin irritants.
Shake the bottle to blend the plant ingredients, then apply Native Shield over the affected area. It can be reapplied as needed for comfort.
Loved Before — and After — the Bite
Customers tell us they reach for Native Shield not only as their natural bug spray, but also when a bite has already happened. Reviewers frequently mention quick relief from itching, its pleasant natural scent, sensitive-skin friendliness, and the importance of rubbing it in well.

What About Ticks & Spiders?
Native Shield by itself is not specifically formulated for ticks or spiders.
When ticks and spiders are also a concern, add 20 drops of Fortify Plant Serum to one bottle of Native Shield and shake thoroughly before using.
For a ready-to-use option, choose DisinfectNOW, which is a pre-diluted Fortify formula and can be used on skin, hair, clothing, and shoes.
Native Shield for Dogs
Native Shield can also be incorporated into your dog's outdoor routine. Rather than spraying your dog directly, apply Native Shield to a bandana or handkerchief, allow it to distribute through the fabric, then tie it comfortably around the dog's neck.
Reapply daily or after the bandana becomes wet.
For dogs only: Keep treated fabric away from the mouth and discourage licking. Alywillow's outdoor formulas containing essential oils are not intended for cats.

A Different Kind of Bug Spray
Conventional insect repellents often rely on synthetic active ingredients, artificial fragrances, and other additives. Native Shield was created from a different philosophy: use carefully selected plants and minerals to help make outdoor life more comfortable while keeping the formula simple, botanical, and pleasant to use.
NATIVE-SHIELD is a DEET-free, plant-based alternative to conventional mosquito and bug sprays for people looking for a more natural approach to outdoor protection.
Awareness

Avoid the eyes. Do not spray directly into the face. Apply to the hands first when using Native Shield around the face.

The Story Behind Native Shield
Native Shield grew from a search for a better way to live alongside nature — enjoying gardens, trails, summer evenings, and outdoor adventures without making conventional bug spray part of everyday life.
