The one plant repellent the US CDC rates alongside DEET — Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus, here at a concentrated 25% PMD for up to four hours, completely DEET-free.
Basic Bug Off Roll-On is a natural, DEET-free mosquito repellent, made in Hong Kong.
Mosquitoes and midges stay away for up to four hours. The active is PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol), refined from Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus — the only plant-based repellent the US CDC lists as effective as DEET — here at 25% in a light sesame-and-coconut oil base, with Lavender, Cedarwood and Rosemary. Roll it straight onto skin; no DEET, no aerosol.
Prefer a lighter option for skin or clothes? Try Basic Bug Off Spray — a water-based 15% PMD spray for up to two hours.

Formulator's Note
Hero note · PMD
PMD (p-menthane-3,8-diol) is the molecule that makes Lemon Eucalyptus repel insects — concentrated from the plant, not synthesised. It's the one botanical active the US CDC rates alongside DEET, which is why a natural roll-on can hold mosquitoes off for hours.
