SOOV Bite is a cooling gel that takes away the urge to scratch after an insect bite or plant sting. It gives fast-acting, temporary relief from pain and itching caused by insect bites - sand-flies, mosquitoes, fleas - and stinging plants such as nettles. The skin is anaesthetised, and the gentle formulation contains an antiseptic to help prevent infection. 25g.
Why choose SOOV Bite for bites and stings
It works by anaesthetising the skin, and that is the point of difference from a simple cooling gel. Numbing the area removes the urge to scratch rather than just soothing the surface, and scratching is what turns a harmless bite into a problem - broken skin, secondary infection, and a mark that lasts weeks. Stopping the itch-scratch cycle early is the whole objective.
The antiseptic in the formulation covers the other half of the risk. Bites are already breaks in the skin, and in warm humid weather they become infected easily - especially on children who scratch in their sleep. Having the antiseptic built into the same gel means one application does both jobs, which matters when you are treating a child at 2am.
It is suitable for children above 2 years and adults, and it is dabbed on up to 4 times daily - a realistic frequency for an itch that keeps coming back through the day. The 25g tube is sized for a pocket, a nappy bag or a camping kit, which is where bites actually happen.

Common uses
Camping, the backyard at dusk, sandfly country on the coast, and any household with children who scratch bites raw. Prevention does most of the work, though: RID Medicated Roll On with 16% DEET stops the bites happening, and Tick Tox deals with ticks, which must be killed in place rather than picked off. For stings and marine irritations, Stingose Gel is the companion product. Stocked with our home and family first aid supplies.
SOOV Bite FAQs
How does SOOV Bite stop the itch?
It anaesthetises the skin, which removes the urge to scratch rather than only cooling the surface. That matters because scratching is what breaks the skin and leads to infection and lasting marks - stopping the itch-scratch cycle is the real treatment.
Can children use it?
It is suitable for children above 2 years and for adults. For a child under 2, ask your pharmacist or doctor. Keep it away from the eyes and mouth, and apply it yourself rather than letting a young child do it.
How often can I apply it?
Dab it onto the affected skin up to four times daily. If the itching or pain persists, worsens or changes unexpectedly, stop and speak to a health professional rather than increasing the frequency.
Why does it contain an antiseptic?
Because a bite is already a break in the skin, and scratched bites become infected readily in warm weather. The antiseptic helps prevent that infection, so the one gel addresses both the itch and the consequence of scratching it.
Does it work on stinging plants?
Yes - stinging plants such as nettles are a listed use, alongside insect bites. It relieves the pain and itching; it does not remove plant hairs or spines, so rinse the area and remove anything embedded first.
When should I see a doctor?
If a bite becomes hot, spreading, swollen or pus-filled, if there is fever, or if a rash develops away from the bite. Seek urgent help - call 000 - for difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips or tongue, or collapse after any bite or sting, which suggests a severe allergic reaction.
Always read the label and follow the directions for use. For external use only - avoid the eyes and do not swallow. If symptoms persist, worsen or change unexpectedly, talk to your health professional. Not for children under 2 years except on advice. Seek urgent medical attention (call 000) for signs of a severe allergic reaction after a bite or sting, including difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or collapse.
