From Bicol’s prized pili tree comes a wonderful nut used in local cuisine since the Spanish times. But did you know that other benefits can also be mined from the Pili tree’s bark, pulp, and leafy crown? Pili oil and Elemi oil were discovered by organic agricultural advocate Rosalina “Rose” S. Tan with the help of a team of scientists and experts who carefully extracted oil from the fruits and resin of the Pili tree. These natural oils help hydrate the skin and maintain its firmness and elasticity. After more than a decade of studying and testing, PILI is now a luxurious personal care brand that uses 100 percent natural Pili and Elemi oils as the base and active ingredients for its products. Enjoy this homegrown label’s makeup and skincare, which are also rich in moisturizing vitamin E, antioxidants, and anti-bacterial properties.

This is good for when you're travelling or camping and you don't have space for insect repellents. Unlike other creams or sprays I've tried, it doesn't smell like chemicals (score), it's just the inoffensive scent of lemongrass. I do wish they had a bigger version of this though. It's great for trips but you use it all up fast since it's so small.
over 3 years agoWas intrigued with this balm in stick form. i only have the lotion and oil bug shields so i was ecstatic to try this. What i love about it is that i don't have to carry a separate balm for mosquito bites. This product is very helpful since mosquitoes really love to bite me :'( Easy to apply but it's kinda small and runs out quickly (well for me since i reapply after a few hours, lapitin kasi ako ng lamok). the scent is not overpowering but does a great job in relieving itch and in repelling bugs.
almost 4 years agoBought this for an overseas trip. Glad it's in solid form so I could keep it in my carry-on. The scent is mild and of lemongrass, very similar with other locally-made bug repellant sprays. I applied it on top of sunscreen and it did not leave any greasy marks. Overall a wonderful product!
about 4 years agoI am planning to buy a second stick. The one we're using is almost up. This is really useful on my 8-year old. The smell is just right and not overpowering. I think it does its job in shooing away pesky bugs...just have to reapply. Overall, I like Pili's bug balm because of its safe ingredients. Ease of application is a plus.
about 4 years agoPili Elemie Balm Bug Me Not Balm is a really nice and handy bug and mosquito repellent to carry all day, any time, any where. I like that it comes in a solid form that it very easy to apply. I was using pray liquids before and those can get a little but inconvenient some times.
