Why URSA Supplements Created Big Bear Tick Guard
Share
At Big Bear Tick Guard, we believe spending time outdoors should feel safe, simple, and natural.
Big Bear Tick Guard was created as a sister company to URSA Supplements — a Canadian wellness brand focused on creating convenient, high-quality health products that fit into everyday life. While URSA focuses on wellness from the inside out through supplements and gummies, Big Bear Tick Guard was created to help protect people outdoors using plant-based ingredients inspired by nature.
As outdoor activity continues to grow across Canada, so does awareness around ticks and tick-borne illnesses such as Lyme disease. Many people are looking for alternatives to harsh chemical sprays and are searching for cleaner, more natural options they can feel confident using during hikes, camping trips, walks, and outdoor adventures.
That is what inspired Big Bear Tick Guard.
Our formula is built around Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus (OLE), one of the only plant-based active ingredients recognized by the CDC for helping repel ticks and mosquitoes. OLE is different from standard lemon eucalyptus essential oil because it contains PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol), the compound responsible for its insect-repelling properties.
Unlike many “natural” bug sprays that rely only on fragrance oils, Big Bear Tick Guard focuses on ingredients supported by research and real-world outdoor use. Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus has become widely recognized as one of the leading plant-based alternatives to traditional repellents.
Both brands share the same core philosophy:
- High-quality ingredients
- Canadian-made products
- Wellness-focused innovation
- Simpler, more convenient everyday solutions
- Products designed for real people and real lifestyles
At URSA, that means convenient gummy supplements.
At Big Bear Tick Guard, that means helping people enjoy the outdoors with confidence.
Whether you are hiking the trails of British Columbia, camping with family, gardening, fishing, or simply spending more time outside, Big Bear Tick Guard was built to be part of your outdoor essentials.
From wellness to outdoor protection, both brands were created with the same mission:
Helping people live healthier, more active lives — naturally.
