Island Armor is a family-owned business based in St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, born out of a simple need: to find a bug repellent that was safe, natural, and pleasant to wear. Tired of chemical-heavy sprays that irritated their skin and smelled harsh, the family began experimenting with plant-based ingredients sourced from the island and beyond. Their goal was to create a product that would protect against mosquitoes and no-see-ums—common nuisances in the tropics—without compromising on health or comfort. After countless trials, they developed a unique blend of witch hazel, clove oil, lemongrass oil, vanilla oil, and coconut oil—each chosen for its proven effectiveness and complementary scent.
What started as a personal project quickly resonated with friends, neighbors, and visitors who wanted a safer alternative to traditional repellents. Today, Island Armor remains proudly crafted in St. Thomas, with every bottle reflecting the family’s commitment to wellness, sustainability, and the vibrant island lifestyle. Whether exploring the rainforest or relaxing on the beach, customers can enjoy effective protection with a fresh, tropical scent that celebrates the spirit of the Caribbean.
