Our story began in 2016, when our founder, Lisa, faced every parent’s worst nightmare: a Lyme disease diagnosis for her children. Suddenly, the backyard felt like a battlefield and the forest felt like a threat.

When she looked for protection, she found a broken market. On one side were harsh, synthetic chemicals she didn't want near her kids; on the other were "natural" essential oil sprays that she felt offered nothing more than an anecdotal sense of security.

Refusing to choose between safety and efficacy, Lisa leaned into her indigenous roots and "MacGyver" resourcefulness. She spent years collaborating with scientists to harness refined formulas. Partnering with Citrefine to incorporate their Citriodiol®, a botanical powerhouse and Health Canada–registered active ingredient. PureGard was born to ensure that no family ever has to choose between protecting their health and enjoying the great outdoors. We don't just sell repellent; we provide Outdoor Liberation.
