Imagine being able to use a fly care product without that overpowering, synthetic smell — and without worrying about what’s actually in it.
That’s why we created Ultimate Bug Barrier. A carefully balanced blend of ingredients, chosen for what flies tend to avoid, while being kind to your horse’s skin and coat.
Because the reality is, most products on the market come with trade-offs:
🤯 Formulas that feel too harsh for regular use
🤯 Products that evaporate too quickly… or sit heavy on the skin
🤯 And a lack of clarity around what’s actually inside
We set out to do things differently.
Bug Barrier is designed to keep horses comfortable in real conditions — with a simple approach that works across your routine.
What's Included?
All products are plastic-free, cruelty-free, and packaged in fully recyclable materials, aligning with our commitment to sustainability.

How often should I use the products?
We recommend use twice a day during times when bugs are particularly active.
Are they vegan?
No, the Bug Barrier Balm contains beeswax. However, we do not source our beeswax from outside of the UK (where bee welfare can be seriously compromised) Ours is sustainably sourced from a local farm Wiltshire, UK.
Are they cruelty-free?
Yes. We will not sell anything that has been tested on anything other than our own animals!
Beware as many fly repellents on the market contain either deet, saltidin, icaridin or picaridin, all of which have been tested on animals!
Will it help horses who have sensitive skin?
Absolutely yes. There are no nasties in the ingredients of any of our products. If your horse doesn't much like sprays around their sensitive areas, the balm is absolutely perfect as it can be wiped on with a sponge or brush.
How should I store the products?
Store out of direct sunlight, in a cool, dry place.
What is the shelf-life of the products?
Our core ingredients have a lengthy shelf life, but we do recommend using your products within 12 months.
How do I dispose of the packaging once it’s finished?
The aluminium tins and bottle are 100% recyclable.
We also sell Refills for the Ultimate Bug Barrier Spray. Keep your big bottle and top up with the Refill when it arrives.
