NATPAT: natural patches for the well-being of families and pets

NATPAT is a wellness company that sells adhesive patches and other products with plant-based essential oils. Its catalog is organized into five main lines: outdoor protection, wellness and cognition, pets, respiratory and allergy relief, and gifts. The company was founded by three dads looking for an alternative to sprays, pills, and creams, and it currently claims to have more than one million families using its products in 31 countries.

Product lines

The offering is built around patches that stick to clothing, except for some products that are applied directly to the skin. Featured items include:

• BuzzPatch: plant-based mosquito repellent patches, with up to 12 hours of protection and no DEET.
• SleepyPatch: patches to promote children's sleep, with calming essential oils.
• ZenPatch: patches for emotional calm and managing stressful moments.
• FocusPatch: patches with rosemary and mint to support concentration, with no caffeine or stimulants.
• Pet Zen: calming stickers for pets that are placed on the collar or harness.

The catalog also includes repellent bracelets, bands, citronella spirals, and other complementary items. The company states that most patches use essential oils such as lavender, citronella, mandarin, and mint on non-woven fabric, with no synthetic fragrances, fillers, or melatonin. Some products, such as MagicPatch and SunnyPatch, do not use active ingredients: the first works with mechanical relief technology and the second with material that changes color in the sun.

How to use

The application method is summarized in three steps: peel off the patch, stick it to clothing (collar, sleeve, or top of pajamas), and let the essential oils slowly diffuse over a period of 8 to 12 hours depending on the product. Pet patches are attached to the collar, harness, or a specific pendant. The company recommends storing leftover patches in the resealable bag to preserve their effectiveness.

Scientific backing and recognition

NATPAT states that its formulas are backed by more than 25 studies. According to the company, BuzzPatch was independently tested by Poseidon Sciences and demonstrated 16% better protection than the next best alternative. The patches are dermatologically tested and, according to the company, 482 verified clinicians recommend them on the FrontrowMD platform. The firm also declares having received more than 100,000 verified reviews with an average rating of 4.7 out of 5.

Shipping and guarantee

The company offers free shipping worldwide, with orders processed the same or next business day and estimated delivery within 2 to 8 business days. For orders over $35 in the United States, shipping is also free. NATPAT backs its products with a 365-day money-back guarantee.

International presence

Although the company presents itself as born in Australia, its online store operates with multiple currencies and shipping to numerous countries. The site allows selecting region and currency, and offers content in English, Korean, and Spanish. The company also has a wholesale program for retailers, with the "You Sell, We Ship" model.
