Frequently Asked Questions

Does this actually work as well as DEET?

Yes — when applied every 3–4 hours as directed. Our formula uses 5 essential oils at 35% concentration, which works by masking the scents that attract mosquitoes and other insects. It won't last 8 hours like some chemical repellents, but it works without the safety concerns that come with DEET.

Is this safe for kids?

Yes — our formula is free from DEET, parabens, synthetic chemicals, and artificial fragrance. It's designed with families in mind. For young children under 2, we always recommend checking with your pediatrician before use.

Is this safe for pets?

Our formula is DEET-free and made with natural essential oils. We recommend consulting your vet before applying any essential oil product to pets, and keeping it away from cats.

What about ticks?

Our formula contains Cedarwood Oil, which has shown promising evidence in research for deterring ticks — it's one of the reasons we included it in our 5-oil blend. We also use Geranium Oil, another botanical that has been studied for tick-repelling properties. That said, for tick protection we always recommend pairing any repellent with physical barriers: wear long sleeves and pants, tuck your socks over your cuffs, and do a thorough tick check after time in wooded or grassy areas. Used together, our spray and smart layering give you a solid natural defense without any harsh chemicals.

How do I apply it?

Shake well before each use. Apply liberally to exposed skin and clothing. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and open wounds. Wash hands after applying.

Is it water resistant?

It is water-resistant but not waterproof. We recommend reapplying after swimming or heavy sweating for continued protection.
