Details

Outside, all summer, without the DEET cloud.


Protect & Repel is the clean, plant-based body spray you actually want on your skin — and your kids' skin, your dog's bed, and the picnic blanket. DEET-free, alcohol-free, and built around three of the most
respected botanical insect deterrents: citronella, tea tree, and patchouli, suspended in a witch hazel base
that does not sting or dry out your skin.


It smells like a forest in the best way — earthy, herbal, faintly sweet — not like the chemical bug spray you remember from camp.


Why you will love it:
• DEET-free and alcohol-free — safe on skin, won't ruin sunscreen or strip your sunscreen's SPF
• Witch hazel base soothes instead of stinging — even on sunburn-warm skin
• Citronella, tea tree, and patchouli are three of the most-cited plant-based insect deterrents
• Hormone safe and phthalate free — built for daily summer use, not just one camping trip
• 4oz spray fits in any bag, tote, beach basket, or glove box


The blend:
• Citronella essential oil — the botanical that started the natural-repellent category
• Tea tree essential oil — naturally antiseptic; supports skin that has already been bitten
• Patchouli essential oil — earthy depth note; another well-known insect deterrent
• Alcohol-free witch hazel — clean carrier that calms skin and won't sting


How to use: Shake well. Mist over exposed skin and clothing before heading outside. Reapply every 2–3
hours or after swimming. Avoid eyes and broken skin. Patch test for sensitive skin.

Built for: Backyard BBQs · Camping · Hiking · Patio dinners · Beach days · Garden weekends · Kids' soccer
games


What it is free from: No DEET. No alcohol. No phthalates. No parabens. No synthetic fragrance. No
undisclosed fragrance blends.
