GETTAE Natural Midge Repellent Beard Oil (And Skin Defender)

Keep Midges Out Your Beard - And Off Your Skin

Let’s be honest, midges love a beard. Worse yet, they don’t stop there - neck, cheeks, ears, anywhere they can get a bite.

That’s why we made GETTAE Braw Beard oil, Scotland’s handcrafted solution to the midge problem. It protects your beard and your exposed skin without smelling like cheap bug spray.

Why GETTAE?

🦟 Repels Midges & Insects
Crafted with citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender - natural midges and insect deterrents that actually work on both beard and bare skin.

🪵 Tested Outdoors
Tried, tested, and proven effective across Scotland’s hills, rivers, forests, and even wind turbine platforms.

Excellent Products

Not sure if it works (too windy for midges in Caithness) but it smells lovely.
I have been using Braw Beard products for years and although on the pricey side, the quality is excellent and keeps my beard in great condition. Recommended.

Gettae midge oil

Got this beard oil after seeing an add about repelling midges, just what I needed for bloodstock. The quality of oil is fantastic, has a fantastic fresh summer smell, and it actually keeps those pesky bugs away. (Tested this out with a few late nite beers in the garden mates got bite I didn’t hahahaha)

Disappointed

I had seen the beard oil advertised on social media and decided to give it a try on a camping trip. It smells nice and feels nice on the skin, however it did nothing to deter the midges. Seems an expensive product to still be bitten by them.

Fishing big Scottish lochs is great, the native midge isn’t. Tried all the normal stuff but nothing really worked, then the Mrs showed me the Braw Beard Oils GETTAE beard oil video so I got some and it works, they f***ked off the instant I put it on, I now have it on repeat order

Excellent

Absolutely amazing. Out all weekend in my garden where there were plenty midge and.I had no new bites, with only a few drops. My partner was surrounded in them (which I found hilarious, cause it's always me) I let him have a few drops and they were gone.
You have NO IDEA.what this means to.me after lifetime of being the one that they always go for, and having the most appalling reaction to them. Here's hoping it continues to be a benefit.

More Than Just a Repellent

Not only does GETTAE help repel midges, but it keeps your beard in top condition. No flaky skin, no brittle hairs - just a soft, healthy beard that smells fresh and clean.

Your beard deserves better.
The midges don’t stand a chance.

In October 2012, the very 1st bottle of Braw Beard oil was produced. After months of trial and error, we perfected the recipe and the signature base oil blend was created which has been kept secret since.

In addition to the base oil blend, essential oils extracted from the best plants are added to create the unique fragrances which keep Braw Beard oil 100% natural.

GETTAE's powerful formula is backed by 12+ years of experience (2012-2025). Designed for outdoor adventurers, this oil repels midges while upholding Braw Beard's high standards of beard care.

GETTAE is extremely effective on skin and hair too!

FAQs

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Aye, GETTAE is blended with natural, skin friendly ingredients like jojoba, argan, and vitamin E oils. We avoid harsh chemicals, so it’s gentle enough for most skin types, including sensitive skin. As always, if you’re unsure, patch test first.

How long does the scent last?

On average, the fresh, midge repelling scent lasts around 4 - 6 hours depending on conditions. Heat, wind, and how active you are outdoors can influence it, but you’ll still get the conditioning benefits even after the scent fades.

Will it keep all insects away?

We won’t claim it’s a magic shield, but the citronella, eucalyptus, and lavender blend is well-known for naturally repelling midges and other wee biting pests. It’s not a DEET product, but for most folk, it makes a noticeable difference.

How often should I use it?

Daily is ideal, especially if you’re braving the outdoors. Apply after showering or washing your beard, or before heading out into midge country. For best results, warm a few drops between your palms and work it through the beard from root to tip.

Does it work on short beards?

Aye, whether you’ve got a full mane or just a short, sharp beard, GETTAE still does the job. It works on skin, so it will work on any beard. It conditions, softens, and helps keep the midges at bay, no matter the length.

Will it make my beard greasy?

Not if you use it right. A few drops go a long way. GETTAE is designed to absorb well, leaving your beard feeling soft and looking healthy, not greasy. The trick is warming it between your hands first and working it in evenly.

Can I still use it indoors?

Absolutely. Even if the midges aren’t nipping at you, GETTAE is still a top class conditioning beard oil. The fresh, subtle scent and nourishing ingredients make it great for daily beard care, indoors or out.
