This is a fantastic insect repellent for everyday outdoor use, especially if you want to keep harsh chemicals away from your kids. Me and the kids have seen a huge improvement: no tick bites, mosquitoes stay nearby but don't bite, flies are deterred, and even swarms of gnats leave me alone when I'm mowing. We've been using it weekly over the past year for everything from eating on our back patio to mowing, hiking, and walking around the neighborhood. What I love most is how it feels. It's not oily, not greasy, and I don't feel like I have anything on. With other products, I feel like I need to shower the second I get back inside. With Tongo, I can keep it on while camping and not feel gross all night. The scents we've tried, including the green tea mint and unscented, are very light and appealing. We have a major tick problem where we live, with lots of woods and adjacent tree-filled lots. With the growing amount of diseases they're discovering from ticks and mosquitoes, it's very concerning, so we wanted something effective that we'd feel comfortable putting on the kids. We try to keep harsher chemicals off their skin since they might touch it and put their hands in their mouths. You never know with kids. I will say I'm not sure it competes with the 100% DEET or Permethrin for deep woods use. My husband still uses stronger chemicals when he goes far into the woods, and we're still testing that out. For normal outings, though, it absolutely does the job. I've recommended this product to anyone who asks and have been very pleased with it.

The Grand Tongo Green Tea and Mint Insect Repellent works great for keeping bugs away during outdoor activities. It doesn't leave any residue or stinky smells, which is a big plus. We use this spray during summer evenings, especially when we are out camping in the wilderness. We have found no issues with it, and it's been a great addition for camping and anything outdoors with the family. It's also great for your skin, making it perfect for the whole crew.

This bug spray is very effective and the smell is surprisingly fresh and refreshing. We tested it in the backyard to repel mosquitoes and also on a hike in an area where we know there are ticks. Both times we sprayed it on our legs. The fresh scent lasts about 15 to 30 minutes, but the repellent itself stayed effective much longer. We were out in the backyard for about 2 to 3 hours and I didn't get a single mosquito bite. We hiked for around 3 hours and didn't find any ticks on us.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent is very effective and smells nice and fresh, minty rather than chemical-like or deet-heavy. We tested it on mosquitoes in the backyard and also spread it on our legs during a hike in areas we know have ticks. We spent about 2–3 hours in the backyard and another 3 hours or so on the hike, and we didn't feel the need to reapply at all.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent is very effective and smells great. We've used it for a few months across a lot of outdoor situations, including sitting out in the backyard, hiking, and walking along the beach. It has done a solid job repelling insects in all of them.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray works really well, much better than other natural bug sprays we've used in the past. We actually stopped getting bug bites with it, which is something we couldn't say about the other natural options we've tried. It lasts several hours and we never need to reapply for the day. It smells really great and feels lightweight on the skin, not greasy or sticky. My family loves it. We use it either hanging out in our backyard or at our local park, typically in the evenings when the bugs are really bad. Highly recommend this.

★★★☆☆ · Verified Buyer

Nice natural scent and easy application, but it needs reapplying about twice as often as other bug sprays we've used. My daughter was at camp in the woods and had to reapply roughly every 40 minutes, which was just a lot from a convenience standpoint. That said, the spray goes on easy enough that my six-year-old could do it herself. It doesn't leave any sticky residue, and the scent is light and not overpowering like some chemical-based repellents. We loved everything about it except the reapplication frequency.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent is very effective and doesn't feel heavy or sticky on the skin. I tested it while building a chicken coop, fishing by the river, and hanging out at the park. I live in the country near a river, so that felt like the best place to really put it to the test. It worked great against ticks, flies, and everything else listed on the bottle. The only thing I noticed was that it had less effectiveness against the really big mosquitoes, especially a few hours in. I reapplied it one to two times over a span of six to seven hours, which was totally manageable. It's a clean product, safe for babies, kids, and people with sensitive skin. I have sensitive skin myself and it didn't cause any reactions at all. I will definitely continue to repurchase it. 10 out of 10.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This natural bug spray works just as well as DEET-based sprays and better than other natural repellents I've tried. It's lightweight, not sticky, and the scent isn't overwhelming. I don't even feel like I have to wash it off before bed. My family spends a lot of time outdoors in the summer, and anytime the sun goes down we break this out. Since I'm typically using it at night, I've never found that the protection wears off, though if I were using it during the day I'd definitely reapply after sweating or swimming. All of the scents are great, including the citrus and the unscented. I highly recommend getting the combo pack so you can store them in different locations for easy access.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

This repellent works well and actually smells nice, with a pleasant mint scent. It kept insects away in environments where I really needed it. The spray nozzle is easy to use, and the bottle is good for storing and taking on the go. It wasn't too sticky either, which I appreciated.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent works great and leaves none of the greasy, oily film I'm used to from other bug sprays. I only needed one application before my hike, didn't have to reapply during, and noticed zero bug bites on my way to and from the trailhead. The green tea and mint scent is very pleasant and not overpowering at all. There was no greasiness, no oiliness, and no skin irritation whatsoever. At the end of the day it washed off smoothly with no issues. I do a lot of hiking around lakes and standing water where bugs are heavy, and I always keep a bottle in my bag now anytime I head out for a hike.

More effective than most typical bug sprays we've tried, and remarkably gentle. We tested this on the whole family, including toddlers, and folks with sensitive skin who get rashes from fabrics and chemicals- not one single complaint! It does dry quickly and isn't super oily to rub in, which is great since rubbing it on is recommended for children instead of spraying directly on skin. We own a small plant business and spend most of our free time outdoors. Our yard is next to bamboo, tall grass, and a creek, so we deal with tons of different insects, including a ton of mosquitoes and ticks. Both my mom and my partner are mosquito magnets and had really good results with this, from light gardening to mowing and just hiking around. We didn't always use it for the full 12 hours, but it was really effective for many hours, even in hot muggy weather that bugs love to attack you in... The green tea and mint scent went on a little strong at first, then faded to where you almost didn't smell it. It was gentle and pleasant, nothing like that classic bug spray smell you might expected. I was so pleased they offer an unscented version too!! I liked the satisfying click of the lock on the sprayer, which is really handy so it doesn't accidentally spray all over your bag or let the kids get into it easily and pump out a crazy amount. The only downside was the sprayer. Toward the end of each can, it would get stuck and wouldn't spray evenly, or in some cases not at all. One can we tried still felt like it had a quarter of a can left and just stopped working. This happened with all the cans we've used. We did get a lot of uses out of each can, though. Other than that, we really loved this product and have been looking to stock up for more this spring.

This bug spray really works. We live close to a river with a high mosquito population, and we rarely get any bug bites, if any at all. We use it pretty much every day for our evening dog walks, anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour, and I never have to reapply within that time. It dries really quickly and doesn't leave any greasy or yucky residue, and none of us had any skin irritation issues. The scent is mild and pleasant, not overwhelming or too powerful. I'm pretty sensitive to scents and we're typically a no-scent home, and it doesn't bother any of us. The sprayer is wonderful too. It comes out so evenly and light enough that you don't feel like you're caked in it. The packaging is really pretty and nice. We also used it during the daytime at an outdoor party, and all my guests seemed to like it as well. We really like this spray overall. I'd say it lasts anywhere from half an hour to an hour of protection.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray smells amazing and actually works. It's the best-scented bug spray I've ever used, light enough that you just get a hint of it without being overwhelmed. It held up well in the Florida heat and kept most of the bugs at bay. It rubs in nicely, isn't greasy, and didn't leave any staining on my clothes. I'm a sensitive skin girl and had zero irritation. The only issue I ran into was the nozzle becoming clogged about halfway through the bottle, roughly 10 to 14 days of use. I tried scratching the residue off so it would continue spraying, but even after scraping the nozzle, the spray didn't come out as strongly. I found myself using more product to get the same coverage I had when I first started using the bottle. Great product overall. It gives great coverage and is great for kids, gardeners, or really any outdoor activity. If you've never tried this bug spray before, I'd highly recommend giving it a shot.

This has quickly become our family go-to bug spray, and we've reordered it multiple times. It works really well. I don't get any bites when I'm using it, and even my husband, who attracts every single bug in the entire vicinity, sees a definite cut in the amount of bites he gets. We use it in the Florida summer where mosquitoes are thick, spending evenings outdoors when the bugs are at their worst, and it holds up. The smell is light and dissipates very quickly, which is great because I'm quite scent sensitive. It's very lightweight on the skin, not sticky or greasy. It's just an awesome product.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray is fantastic. It repelled all bugs, left barely any residue, and smelled great. It even worked well on my kids too.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray works better than any I've used in the past, and the best part is it doesn't make me feel disgusting after wearing it. The green tea and mint fragrance is super pleasant, and it feels so light and clean, almost like I'm wearing a body mist. It genuinely keeps mosquitoes, gnats, and flies away, and a single application typically lasts about eight hours. Later in the evening when the bugs really come out, I'll add a little more if I'm still outside, but it usually holds up all day. I used to use Off and other harsh chemical bug sprays, and I guess they worked, but I always felt gross afterwards, like I had to take a shower. They also didn't do well with my skin. This one causes me zero issues. No skin irritation, no sticky or gross feeling, no obnoxious chemical smell. It's been very easy on my body. I've been using it for well over a year now, whether we're walking in the woods, hanging out in the backyard, or traveling cross-country. I've used it in many different states where the bugs were pretty bad and it has definitely held up for me. I really like this product and will continue to purchase it.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray does its job and feels so much cleaner than other options I've used. The ingredients seem a lot more natural, and I feel so much better about using it on my child compared to other bug sprays. We used it at a birthday party at the lake for about four hours and had no issues with bugs the entire time. My son did really well with having it on. There was no skin irritation, no rashes, and no residue left over. It was super easy to wash off too. The scent is pleasant and subtle. You can tell there's a little bit of green tea and mint there, but it's nothing like the overpowering smell you get from other bug sprays. We're typically outside anywhere from two to five hours, whether we're at the lake, the pool, the park, or going on walks, and it definitely seemed to do its job. I loved everything about it.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray has become my go-to for all of our outdoor activities, and I will absolutely buy it again when we run out. It smells fresh and light instead of that gross, tangy bug spray smell, and it's not sticky, which is huge for my one child in particular who's a little sensitive to textures. None of my three kids balk when I bring it out. We use it a couple of times a week, especially during the summer, and it lasts for most of the day. If we're continuing outdoor activities into the evening, I might need to reapply once. Even when it's hot and we're all sweating, it stays effective. If we're swimming I might have to reapply once or twice more, but so far it's held up well throughout.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray has a refreshing scent that's much nicer than most chemically smelling repellents, and it seemed effective. My kids both liked it, which is a win for outdoor use. The one downside is the pump. After about a year of use, it's gotten significantly harder to spray. I have to use two hands now because of how much pressure you need with your thumb to get it to come out, which makes it uncomfortable to use.

★★★☆☆ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent didn't hold up very well. We used it last summer while sitting around a fire, and my friends were still getting bitten despite applying it. It smells better than other bug sprays I've used in the past, but that's about the only positive. Other repellents I've tried worked better at actually keeping bugs away. Nothing else really stood out to me.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray is incredibly effective, and I was sold from the very first use. Mosquitoes love me all summer long, and every time I used this I had zero mosquito bites and no bugs landing on me. The protection lasted several hours, all without using DEET or other potentially harmful ingredients. The green tea and mint scent is really refreshing when you spray it on, but it doesn't linger, which I actually appreciated. It also wasn't sticky or greasy at all. You could feel it on your skin for a moment, and then you weren't really aware of it anymore. I've been pulling it out at swim meets telling friends they've got to try it. I definitely recommend it.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray is incredibly effective and safe enough to use on our kids, which is everything I want in a repellent. It has totally prevented bug bites, and it even kept ants from crawling up my legs while I was planting flowers in the front garden. It goes on light and airy, not greasy at all, and the scent is fragrant but not overbearing. I applied it the other day while I was really sweaty and it still worked just as well. We've been using it for several months now, mostly outdoors by the river or the pool, and it's really come in handy as mosquito season has picked up. After swimming, we always spray another layer once we get out and dry off. I'm really happy we found a bug spray that actually works without all the harmful chemicals so many other sprays are full of.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent is fabulous. It actually delivers on the 12-hour protection it promises, it's not sticky or oily like other natural repellents I've tried, and I feel completely safe using it on my kids since there are no chemicals in it. It's more of a dry spray, which is a huge improvement over other natural options that tend to be very oily and leave a lot of liquid on the skin. My kids actually ask for the spray before we go outside, and there's been zero skin irritation. If we're outside for the whole day, I'll spray them maybe once or twice and it does the job. It also comes in an unscented version, which is great if you don't care for the green tea or sandalwood scent. I use the unscented one on my son every day before school so he's protected from ticks and bug bites throughout the day.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This has been a great DEET-free bug spray, and we will continue to use this brand. My sons usually get eaten alive every single year, but they've done really well with this since last summer. It lasts up to six hours without needing to reapply, even during monsoon season when bugs are at their worst. My kids can play outside in our backyard the whole time and stay protected. The Green Tea + Mint scent is super subtle and refreshing. It's not overpowering or artificial like some natural bug sprays that go heavy on the essential oils. My husband is on the spectrum and does not tolerate overpowering fragrances, so this has been really good for him too. I'd recommend applying it about 10 minutes before you go outside for full effectiveness. I also suggest trying all of the different scents because they've all been great and very subtle. I feel really good about the ingredients, and all of my kids have done well with it.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug repellent actually works and smells great, which is rare for a bug spray. We used it in our yard where we have both mosquitoes and ticks, and I didn't notice any mosquito bites or ticks on our skin after playing outside. We sprayed it on like a regular bug spray and had no skin irritation at all. I also like that it has a better ingredient list than other repellents, especially compared to DEET.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

The Grand Tongo Green Tea + Mint spray worked well against larger bugs but was not very effective against the teeny tiny little black bugs I was dealing with. I really enjoyed the scent, which was light, and it wasn't sticky on my skin. The mist is stronger than some other bug sprays I've used, so that's nice to know before you start spraying. I only did one application and left it on all day without reapplying.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

This spray actually works and you can barely tell you're wearing it. No stickiness, no residue, and it feels like nothing on your skin. I usually get attacked by mosquitoes no matter what, and I did not get bites. The green tea and mint scent is really great. I often skip sprays because they smell so weird and chemical, but this one actually smells like what it says on the label and it isn't overpowering. I reapplied every few hours or so. I used it mostly outdoors in suburban backyards in Illinois and out on the lake in Minnesota over a couple weeks of vacation, a few days a week. Really enjoyed this spray.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent works about as well as something like Off with DEET, but without feeling like you're wearing bug spray. The initial application feels sticky like any other spray, but within about five seconds it evaporates completely and you feel like you're not wearing anything at all. That's the main draw, and it actually delivers. We really only deal with mosquitoes around here, and when we wear this product they don't bite us. They still hang around, but the biting drops to almost nothing. You do have to reapply, especially if you're playing outside or sweating, so keep it close. I'd say you get a solid 30 minutes to an hour per application. I've been using this on my family and myself for the past year. I still love the smell, and I love that it consistently disappears on your skin after a few seconds. It's one of those products that just keeps working the way you want it to.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent genuinely works. I stayed outside for an entire afternoon and evening, through a picnic and a firework show, and didn't get a single bite. I usually get all bit up by mosquitoes and flies like to hang around me, so that's saying something. It works just as good if not better than other insect repellents, but without the nasty chemicals you don't particularly want on your skin for a long period of time. I actually liked the smell, and I'm pretty particular about smells. It didn't feel greasy or gross on my skin either. There's also an unscented version if smells bother you. Be prepared to buy more because it really does work!

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray works well and smells great, which is a huge win over the strong chemical smell of brand-name sprays we've used before. It kept mosquitoes away in our backyard, which is full of them, and the protection lasted about two hours, the whole time we were outside. It's easy to spray on, easy for me and easy for the kids. It doesn't leave your skin feeling gross and sticky, and none of us had any skin irritation. I also appreciated not worrying so much about all the chemicals. It's easy to store too. I'd say it performs similarly to the chemical-heavy bug sprays we've tried, and I preferred it because of the pleasant scent and gentler feel.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent works really well and smells amazing. The mint scent is my favorite. It doesn't smell like chemicals or anything overly strong when you're spraying, and the scent fades quickly. My kids don't mind using it at all, which is a huge win. The spray bottle is easy to use and it does a great job repelling mosquitoes outside. We've been using it for over a year now. It's seasonal for us, but in the spring and summer it has been a lifesaver.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This bug repellent works really great, and I honestly feel like it performs better than the big brand competitors. I live in South Texas where a good repellent is essential, and I apply it every day before sitting outside in the afternoons. It keeps mosquitoes away for four or more hours at a time. It smells really good and doesn't feel oily as long as you apply it lightly. You really don't need much. If you overdo it, it can feel too oily, but a light application is all it takes. I prefer this over liquid sprays, which I find I have to reapply once or twice when I'm outside for a while. Creams are even worse for me because they just feel too heavy. This one hits the right balance. I haven't tested it in water or while sweating since I mostly use it for relaxing outside, but for everyday outdoor use it's a great product.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

This product has definitely exceeded my expectations. My daughter is highly allergic to mosquito bites, and since we started using it we've noticed a significant decrease in the amount of bites she gets. It holds up pretty well with sweat, and we reapply every few hours during summer activities just to make sure it stays effective. We've been using it in southern heat at parks, zoo trips with a lot of walking and sweating, splash pads, and pool days. It really does the job. The scent is pretty appealing and doesn't have that typical bug spray smell you see in other products. I love that it's all natural and has a pleasant smell, which is a nice change. I would definitely buy more and think everybody should give it a try. If you're a first-time buyer, just keep in mind that it's more on the natural side, so reapplying every few hours is worth doing to keep it working well.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This is my all-time favorite insect repellent, and I'm a mom of four who's used every kind of bug spray out there. You spray it on and you're protected for four to five hours without any issue. It smells good, disappears quickly, and is so lightweight you can't even tell you're wearing it. It actually makes your skin feel good. It's 20% picaridin, which is a kid-friendly, skin-friendly alternative to DEET. The only thing that's going to be more effective is 100% DEET, and I wouldn't want to have that on me all the time. We spend long hours outside for sports practices, hiking, and summer events in a relatively humid environment with ticks, mosquitoes, and biting flies, and this keeps us protected. My kids love it as much as I do. We reapply after water exposure, swimming, or heavy sweating, especially around ankles, hairlines, and the back of the neck where you really sweat. For normal summer warmth, though, one application holds up and we maybe reapply once. When you first spray it on, it feels a little cool, and then it's like it's not even there. I'll admit the fancy packaging and the higher-than-average price might give first-time buyers pause, but it works. It's definitely up there with the other repellents we've tried, and honestly better than anything else I've used.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This repellent smells great, works well, and lasts a good while. I was using it in our outdoor space around the playground and it held up. The scent is citrusy, but not in a citronella kind of way. It's super easy to use since it's just an aerosol top.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This repellent works great and lasts. I didn't need to reapply even when we stayed outside for over two hours, and it kept the mosquitoes away the entire time. It goes on as a very lightweight fine mist, dries clear, and doesn't leave any residue, film, or sticky feeling on the skin. I really like the green tea and mint essence, and I believe the mint scent is what keeps the mosquitoes at bay. I used it on my 20-month-old toddler and he didn't have any reaction. It doesn't irritate his skin or mine. I usually keep one in my stroller and one in my car so I always have it handy. Living in Florida, we deal with all types of mosquitoes and bugs, and I take my son to the park near the lake every day. I only need to apply it once and we're good for the whole outing. I really like this product.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

We absolutely love this insect repellent. I've actually gone out and bought more because of how effective it is. We have barely been bitten by any mosquitoes, and we have not seen any ticks on us with application. The coverage lasts a good four hours before we need to reapply, which is impressive for our typical outdoor activities like hiking, camping, and really any type of sport outdoors. The spray itself is very lightweight, much more lightweight than putting on something like a spray sunscreen. It goes on nicely on both clothes and skin without any stickiness. We love the smell of it. My children have sensitive skin and it has not bothered their skin at all, with zero irritation.

★★★★☆ · Verified Buyer

This bug spray is great. It doesn't leave a sticky residue, and it is safe for children as advertised.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This works just as well as traditional insect repellents, and the scent is so much better. It's natural and not overpowering, unlike the strong smell you get from typical brands. We've been using it since last summer and I don't find myself needing to reapply, only touching up areas I may have missed initially. We live in the Midwest and have two small children, so we feel safer putting this on their bodies compared to conventional options. It doesn't smell like your typical bug spray, which is a big plus.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent works even better than some of the chemical-heavy brands I've tried, and it's natural. We used it every day last summer starting with a family camping trip, and one application lasted the whole day. It was especially effective against mosquitos. We live in a very bug-heavy area, so I was pleasantly surprised. It doesn't smell like typical bug spray, which is a huge plus. My kids can be prone to skin sensitivity, and we had zero breakouts or reactions. I've recommended it to a few family members who are more conscious about what chemicals they're putting on their bodies, and they've loved it too. The one thing to be aware of is that it can get a little sticky. I didn't mind it on my skin, but I noticed my shoes got a bit sticky after applying it many times throughout the summer. We're almost done with our bottle and I'll definitely be reordering. Very happy with the quality, and I'll continue sharing it with friends and family.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

I honestly highly recommend the Grand Tongo Green Tea Plus Mint Insect Repellent for anyone looking for a perfect bug spray. The longevity is really good, roughly around 4 hours before I even think about reapplying. The texture after application is almost non-existent compared to any other brand I've tried, with no sticky or thick feeling. The mint scent is a nice touch that I can really smell during application but it doesn't linger the whole time, which is great because I don't want it overpowering my perfumes. I've tested this spray across all kinds of outdoor activities, from something as simple as hanging out in my front yard and washing my car with mosquitoes all around me, to stronger outdoor activities like hiking and camping in the mountains. It works. It really does. I have nothing bad to say about this bug spray.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This is a great insect repellent for the whole family. It's effective against mosquitoes and those annoying gnats, and it's comparable to all the other products out there. I love how it doesn't make my skin super sticky after applying it. The scent is very pleasant, not overpowering and doesn't smell bad. My kids like it too, which is a big plus. We use it whenever we're outside and there are a lot of bugs around. I definitely recommend it to everybody.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This insect repellent works really well and lasts longer than other natural sprays I've tried. It kept bugs away for an entire two-hour hike, and when we reapplied later in the day for a different adventure, it held up just as well. It wasn't too sticky or irritating, and the green tea and mint scent was pleasant. We did make sure to apply it outside. My one real complaint is that it's not kid-friendly. The ingredients specifically say not to let children handle it, so I couldn't hand it to my kids to apply themselves. It does the job, but as a parent you'll need to be the one spraying it on them. I also tried the orange bottle version and didn't care for that scent nearly as much, so if you're considering the line, I'd go with the green tea and mint.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

Great product that I'd definitely recommend. The scent isn't super strong, and it lasted a long time, which I really appreciate when we're outside all day. We live in a heavily wooded area, so having coverage for multiple insects like ticks, mosquitoes, and flies is a big plus. It worked equally well across all of them. We'd apply it in the morning before heading out and sometimes reapply in the afternoon, so twice a day at most.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This is a really good repellent and the only one we buy at this point. We've been using it for well over a year now, and it genuinely works against mosquitoes and gnats, which are our biggest issues here in Oregon. The protection lasts all day, even with all our outdoor activities. We're a pretty active family with lots of walking, running, playing basketball in the backyard, and regular swimming. Even with all of that, the repellent still seems to hold up. It's not sticky or greasy and has a pleasant smell, which has been a huge bonus because my three kids (ages 13, 12, and 6) always hated putting on repellent before this one. The fact that they'll actually wear it willingly has been a game changer. No skin irritation either. We've tried Off! and various other brands in the past, and we just don't use them anymore. This is our go-to now, something we naturally restock on our own. It's been a win product for our family from the start.

★★★★★ · Verified Buyer

This repellent worked really well at protecting me and my family from mosquito bites, and it's not greasy at all. No drip from the spray can, no oily fingers. The scent is pleasant and very light. My only complaint is that the can runs out fast. I'm not sure exactly how many applications we got, but it was probably just a handful of times for me and three kids. I wish it lasted longer.

★★★☆☆ · Verified Buyer

This green tea and mint insect repellent smells fantastic and uses natural ingredients, but I'm skeptical about how well it actually works. After several months of use, I'm still getting bitten. It seemed to make more of an impact at first, but over time I've noticed it doesn't repel as effectively as I'd hoped. It does seem to help with mosquitoes, but the smaller biting bugs don't seem fazed by it. I use it on myself, my husband, and my children, and I love that it doesn't irritate anyone's skin. It's gentle enough to put on my baby's skin, which is a big deal for me. The scent is extremely subtle and pleasant, never overwhelming. I typically need to reapply at least once during an evening, and if I'm still feeling bug bites I'll apply again. One or two applications should be sufficient for most outings. I tend to use it during the evenings or when we're out in grassy or woodsy areas. I'm not sure if the continued bites are because I'm not covering every open part of my skin or if the product just isn't fully effective against all types of bugs. I'll still continue to use it because I do feel fewer bites overall, and I really value that it's natural and safe for my whole family. If natural ingredients matter to you, it's definitely worth trying, but don't expect it to work as well as stronger chemical repellents.

Highly recommend this insect repellent. It offered solid protection for at least three hours during light to moderate outdoor activity, and it's a genuinely pleasant experience to use. The scent is really nice, not that chemical smell you get from a lot of other sprays. The texture is great too. It goes on, dries quickly, and leaves an almost powdery soft finish with no greasy residue. For that reason alone, I liked it quite a bit more than other products I've used in the past. It didn't cause any skin irritation, and I didn't mind it getting on my clothes because it wasn't greasy and left no discoloration. I spend a lot of time outside in my garden and walking, nothing too strenuous, and this worked perfectly for that kind of activity. You can buy it and use it just like you would any other bug spray.

This works better than any natural bug repellent we've tried, and honestly better than any insect repellent, period. We've noticed definitely fewer bug bites, if not zero. The scent is delicious, and my children love it too. Depending on how much you're sweating, it can last anywhere from a few hours to the whole day. I live in a town where outdoor activities are really important, so we use insect repellent constantly. I've always felt like natural repellents don't protect as well as non-natural ones, but this one truly delivers. We're really happy with it.

This is an amazing repellent for families with sensitive skin. My husband and kids are super sensitive to other repellents, but they haven't had a single reaction to this one, which is a huge win in our books. It lasts four to five hours at least, and even if you sweat in the heat, you can still feel it protecting you. We live in Texas, so finding something that actually works against bugs in the summer is really hard, and this delivers for the whole family, kids and adults alike. The smell is fantastic. You can tell it's not full of chemicals, and it's not overbearing at all, which makes it really easy for the kids to wear. There's zero greasiness either. It feels like you don't even have it on. We usually reapply if we're spending longer time outside, so we keep one in the car, one in the diaper bag, and one by the front door. That way we never forget it. I'd recommend keeping it somewhere handy like your car or near the door so it becomes part of your routine heading out.

This bug spray really works. Once we started using it on our kids, they immediately stopped getting covered in mosquito bites. It goes on smoothly, isn't sticky, and the green tea and mint scent is actually pleasant. We also liked that it's not a chemical-heavy repellent. We live in a suburban area with a lot of grass and trees, and our children spend a lot of time playing outside, so they usually get bitten a lot by mosquitoes. One application per day was all it took to keep the bugs away.
