When looking for safe, toxin free insect repellents, make sure not only that you have safe ingredients, but that the active ingredients also WORK.

Outdoor Care

my fave!

Made with sesame oil, citronella and other essential oils, this is the only clean repellent that was clinically proven to repel mosquitos, fleas and ticks. It WORKS. This one bottles last forever, you only need a little bit. They also come in Wipes.

Runner Up: Aunt Fannie’s is made with soybean oil, rather than sesame. Also comes in wipes.

Note: These options will only last 30-60 minutes and should be reapplied regularly.
