Bug repellent balancing effectiveness and non-greasy natural formula

A bug repellent product that offers a middle ground between harsh chemical pesticide sprays (which can irritate skin) and natural oil-based repellents (which are greasy and uncomfortable). Users want something effective at repelling insects while being gentler, more natural, and not leaving a greasy residue.

CLASSIFIER RATIONALE

Clear expression of unmet demand for a middle-ground bug repellent product that balances effectiveness with non-greasy/natural formulation. The parent context establishes the problem (existing spray stings and doesn't work well), and the reply articulates a desired solution category that doesn't currently exist.
