How We Made Our Decisions

All the products listed below are free of harmful DEET as well as pyrethroids and permethrins.

Be forewarned that not all plant oils are harmless. They may not have the long-term health effects associated with synthetic chemicals, but they may still cause allergic reactions in some users. Test some out on the back of your hand before giving yourself a whole-body spray to see if you experience any negative effects.
