What is DEET?

DEET (N,N-Diethyl-meta-toluamide) is a chemical insect repellent commonly found in sprays and lotions to ward off mosquitoes and ticks. While effective, many people have concerns about its strong smell, potential skin irritation, deterioration of plastics and fabrics, and environmental impact.

Why Go DEET-Free?

Many outdoor lovers, parents, and pet owners are seeking natural, DEET-free alternatives that provide effective protection without harsh chemicals. Here’s why:

1️⃣ Gentle on Skin, Safe for Families

🚫 No harsh chemicals – Ideal for children, sensitive skin, and long-term use.
