Murphy's Naturals, Inc.

Murphy's Naturals is an outdoor lifestyle company that produces highly effective, plant-based insect repellent products. Founded by U.S. Navy veteran Philip Freeman in 2013, the company was born from a need for a reliable, natural alternative to conventional repellents that relied on harsh chemicals. Its product line, which ranges from topical balms and sprays to incense sticks and candles, is formulated using EPA-approved essential oils. The company distinguishes itself through its commitment to domestic manufacturing, with a significant majority of its products produced in-house at its headquarters in Raleigh, North Carolina. By prioritizing process automation and efficient production, the company maintains quality control while scaling to meet national retail demand.

As a certified B Corporation and member of 1% for the Planet, Murphy's Naturals integrates social and environmental purpose into its business model, including donating 2% of annual revenue to conservation efforts. This mission-driven approach addresses the common consumer challenge of finding safe, effective protection for outdoor activities without harming the insects or ecosystems they aim to enjoy. By balancing purpose with profit, the company has grown into a well-recognized brand, expanding its retail footprint into major big-box stores while maintaining a focus on sustainability and the goal of bringing nearly all manufacturing processes to the United States.
