Works great to repel ticks & mosquitoes, feels wet

This product works great to repel ticks and mosquitoes. And it's great to have a product without harsh chemicals. The only downside is that it feels very wet when you spray it on the skin and the wetness doesn't evaporate, so it feels a bit sticky, especially while hiking -- I guess that's the moisturizing oils.

Great all use repellent

I've used this both for ticks while hiking, and for mosquitos at outdoor events. I'm so impressed by how effective it is, and I love that it's clean and non-toxic. No ticks and no bug bites. It smells nice too!

Works as well as DEET!

This repellent is awesome! I replaced my DEET spray with this one and used it on a dive trip on a super buggy island. Not only did it work, but it smelled good too. Win Win! Highly recommend.

Finally a Natural Repellent Proven to Work

Finally the first EPA approved all natural mosquito and tick repellent better than DEET. and it smells and feels good on my skin. The problem with other repellents sold as natural, you really don't know if they work. Now we have a proven alternative to DEET for everyone.

Wish I could give it zero stars

Sprays very unevenly, so you need to spread it out a good bit. That's not a huge issue. The bigger issue is it just doesn't work. My partner and I both had tons of bites after applying it and we were just in our backyard. I can't imagine how bad it would be using this on a hike. Closest REI store is too far away or I would return it. Waste of money.

BEST insect repellant

I've been burned by "clean" insect repellants in the past, but this is the real deal. Needed something the whole family could wear in Michigan for long summer nights, and worked like a charm.

Defends against biting insects

It is great to have a clean alternative to DEET that keeps the biting insects away, doesn't melt the things you touch, smells good, and is easy to apply. Looking forward to having a travel-size option.

smells horrible

This smelled HORRIBLE. I couldn't even finish a single application before I started getting a headache. i had to jump in the shower and wash it all off. No idea how effective it is. It just smells bad.

Worked well for my family

This works really well for my family on a short camping trip. My son is usually a mosquito magnet, and we were camping near a creek, swarmed with bugs when we got there. But my son walked away with zero mosquito bites. It was just a one-night camp, but we were happy with the results.
