Took my first trip to Alaska. I had heard about the legendary mosquitoes. Four days on hikes around water. Lots of fish jumping for the bugs, but I emerged without a single bug bite.

It works and doesn't make me feel like I'm a walking bio hazard! I thought I was doomed to the DEET crap, but no! This really does keep the mosquitoes away!
Carolyn J.
Spent two days hiking and applied this to my legs both days. No bites, no itching!

Does it actually work? +
Yes. It's not DEET, so it won't last 12 hours on a single application. But applied properly and reapplied as needed, customers report strong protection even in Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and the humid South.
How often do I reapply? +
Every few hours, or after sweating or getting wet. The essential oils fade faster than synthetic chemicals. That's the tradeoff for no DEET.
Is it safe for kids? +
All ingredients are plant-based with no DEET, parabens, or synthetics. Use your judgment with very young children and consult a pediatrician if unsure about essential oil exposure.
