The Patch That Stops the Scratch - Hydrocolloid Bug Bite Relief with Tea Tree & Aloe

Product Overview

Meet the ultimate solution for the "itchy-scratchy" cycle: The Patch That Stops the Scratch by All Better Co. Founded by moms frustrated with the lack of gentle options in the first aid aisle, All Better Co. has reimagined family care with products that rely on plant-based materials rather than harsh synthetics. These innovative hydrocolloid patches are designed to calm irritation, protect compromised skin, and physically block the urge to scratch—helping bug bites, bumps, and minor skin irritations heal naturally without the interference of fingernails.

Infused with a soothing trio of Marigold, Aloe Vera, and Tea Tree Oil, these transparent patches go beyond a simple cover-up. They create a moist, protective environment that draws out fluid and impurities while delivering targeted botanical relief. Formulated without petroleum, steroids, or synthetic fragrances, they offer a gentle alternative for sensitive skin and wiggly kids. Whether it's a mosquito bite or a mysterious bump, these patches offer immediate relief and peace of mind for conscious parents.

Key Features

• Hydrocolloid Barrier Technology: The medical-grade hydrocolloid layer (a plant-based cellulose gum matrix) draws out fluid and impurities from bug bites and bumps while sealing the area to support natural recovery.

• Instant Itch Relief: Physically stops the scratch reflex by covering the irritation, preventing further damage to the skin and breaking the "itch-scratch" cycle immediately.

• Botanical Infusion: Enriched with nature’s healers—Tea Tree Oil for purifying, Aloe Vera for cooling hydration, and Marigold (Calendula) for calming redness—to soothe skin on contact.

• Formulated Without Harsh Chemicals: Deliberately made without steroids, PFAS, petroleum, alcohol, synthetic fragrance, or parabens.

• Kid-Friendly Design: The transparent, comfortable material stays put on active children, providing a "magic" shield that kids love to wear.

• Invisible Protection: The discreet, clear design blends with skin tones, making it perfect for day or night use.

Health & Safety Advantages

• Steroid-Free Relief: Provides effective symptom relief without the use of topical steroids or synthetic pharmaceuticals, relying instead on physical protection and plant-based soothing.

• Gentle Adhesion: Uses skin-safe adhesives designed to minimize the risk of contact dermatitis or irritation often caused by traditional bandages.

• Protective Healing Environment: By covering the site, the patch prevents secondary infection caused by dirty fingernails and open scratching wounds.

• Tested Free of Endocrine Disruptors: Verified free from PFAS ("forever chemicals") and phthalates often found in plastic bandages, ensuring no known hormonal disruptors come in contact with your child's skin.
