American Original Repellents
An American Original Repellents Company

Wherever the bugs are,
so are we.

American Original Repellents makes three specialized lines of insect protection — one built for the trail, one for the coastline, one for your own backyard — so no version of outside gets crossed off the list.

Trailhead Bug SprayCoastal Canopy Insect RepellentCedar Canopy Candles
AMERICAN ORIGINAL REPELLENTS • ALL-AROUND COVERAGE • TRAIL • COAST • HOME •
Three Zones, One Standard

Built for where you actually go.

Every American Original Repellents formula is developed for a specific place, not a generic bottle. That's the difference between coverage that works and coverage that just sits on a shelf.

On the Trail
Trailhead

Trailhead Bug Spray

100% Natural • 4 fl oz • American Original Repellents

Made for the backcountry: long miles, full sun, and the kind of bugs that show up the second you stop moving. A natural, DEET-free formula that holds up through sweat and switchbacks without leaving residue on your gear.

Coastal Canopy Insect Repellent

Salt-Air Formula • Lightweight Spray • American Original Repellents

Built for long, humid afternoons by the water. A lighter, faster-drying spray that layers cleanly under sunscreen and won't leave the greasy film that beach trips usually come with.

Cedar Canopy

Cedar Canopy Candles

Hand-Poured • Four Finishes • American Original Repellents

Patio protection that doesn't look like a bug product. Hand-poured citronella candles in four tin finishes, made to clear the air around a table, a porch, or a firepit without a spray in sight.

FormatPoured tin candle
FinishesCopper, forest, black, sage
Full Coverage

Put all three together and there's no stretch of outdoors — near or far from home — that's left unprotected.

Purpose-Built

No single "one size fits all" formula. Trail, coast, and home each get a version made for their conditions, not a compromise.

One Company

Three product lines, developed separately for the places they're actually used — then held to the same standard under one name.

Our Story

An American Original Repellents, in every sense.

American Original Repellents started from a simple observation: the outdoors isn't one place. The trail, the coast, and your own backyard each ask for something different, so we stopped trying to make one product do all three. Trailhead, Coastal Canopy, and Cedar Canopy are built separately, tested for the ground they actually cover, and sold under a name meant to stand behind all of them equally.
