Description
Original DEET-Free Mosquito Repellent is an all-natural body spray made from geraniol, lemongrass, cedar and thyme, mild enough for toddlers and safe for kids and pets. Mosquito Steve ran hundreds of field trials against brand-name repellents before settling on this formula, so it was chosen for how well it works, not only for being gentle. It is non-greasy, smells pleasant, and comes in a 2 oz carry-on size and a 4 oz bottle.
Why it works
- No DEET, built on geraniol, lemongrass, cedar and thyme
- Mild enough to use on toddlers; safe for kids and pets
- Tested in hundreds of field trials against brand-name repellents
- Non-greasy with a pleasant scent
- The 2 oz bottle fits a purse or backpack and goes in a carry-on
- Refill the 2 oz from the 4 oz and nothing goes to waste
How to use it
- Shake and spray on exposed skin and clothing before going outside.
- Rub it in by hand for even coverage. For faces, spray into your hands first.
- Reapply after swimming, heavy sweating or several hours outdoors.
