A CDC-recognised plant repellent — Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus — in a light water spray for skin or clothes, DEET-free and good for up to two hours.
Basic Bug Off Spray is a natural, DEET-free mosquito repellent, made in Hong Kong.
A light, water-based spray for skin or clothes. The active is PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol) from Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus — the only plant-based repellent the US CDC lists as effective as DEET — at 15%, for up to two hours, with Lemongrass, Lavender and Cedarwood. DEET-free and gentle enough to spray onto clothes for younger children.
Want longer-lasting protection? The oil-based Basic Bug Off Roll-On runs a concentrated 25% PMD for up to four hours.

Formulator's Note
Hero note · PMD
PMD is the repellent molecule in Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, concentrated from the plant rather than synthesised — the one botanical active the US CDC rates alongside DEET. At 15% in a water base, it keeps mosquitoes off for a couple of hours without DEET.
