PureGard Botanical Repellent

08/27/2026

From our founder & CEO, Lisa Learning: What started as a simple quest to find a natural solution to help protect my own family has turned into something I never could have imagined.

For eight years, we’ve had the privilege of working alongside researchers at Acadia University, taking an idea and turning it into products, research and opportunities that reach far beyond where we started.

None of this happens alone. Partners like Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency have supported us as we invested in research, equipment, manufacturing and growth, and I’m incredibly grateful for that support.

We are still a small family business from Nova Scotia with big dreams — but today, PureGard products are sold across Canada, and we’re continuing to research, innovate and work on what comes next.

Sometimes you have to look back to realize just how far you’ve come. ❤️

We’re proud to see PureGard recognized in the Nova Scotia Government’s announcement supporting research and innovation in tick-borne disease prevention.

Through a $1.2-million investment from Research Nova Scotia, researchers and industry partners will work together to develop and test new tick-control and repellency technologies. This helps move scientific discoveries into practical solutions for people and animals.

As a Nova Scotia company, we’re excited to contribute to this important work and help strengthen our province’s expertise in tick repellency while exploring opportunities to bring innovative solutions to new markets.

Congratulations to the Canadian Tick Research and Innovation Centre at Acadia University on its official opening, and to everyone involved in advancing this vital research!

Sometimes you just have to do whatever it takes.

When our shipment was delayed again, we had two choices: wait... or go get it ourselves.

So that's exactly what we did.

We flew to Montreal, rented a truck, picked up our active ingredient, and we're driving it back to Nova Scotia ourselves so we can get production moving as quickly as possible.

We know many of you have been waiting since June 13, and we don't take your patience for granted. Every message of encouragement has kept our team going through these unexpected delays.

As soon as we arrive, we'll be bottling, packing, and shipping orders as fast as we can.

Thank you for sticking with us. ❤️

See you soon, Nova Scotia.
