For those seeking a safer alternative, natural insect repellents like Good Riddance are DEET-free, gentle on the skin, eco-friendly, and suitable for the entire family, including babies over 3 months old and pregnant women.

However, you can reapply as necessary, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Always follow the instructions on the product label.
Natural repellents are generally well-tolerated and less likely to cause side effects compared to chemical-based repellents. however, as with any product, it's always best to do a patch test if you have particularly sensitive skin.
The Good Riddance insect repellent creams are made with 100% essential oil actives. The base for both the Sensitive and Tropical insect repellents includes nourishing shea butter and beeswax, ensuring a gentle and moisturising application.
Yes, the essential oils used in Good Riddance insect repellents are highly effective natural insect deterrents. Here’s how each essential oil works to keep insects and mosquitoes at bay:
Lavender Oil: Lavender oil is known for its soothing fragrance, but it is also a powerful insect repellent. Its strong scent masks human odors that attract mosquitoes, making it difficult for them to find and bite you.
Lemongrass: Lemongrass contains citronella, which is a well-known natural repellent. Its strong aroma repels mosquitoes and other insects, making it an effective ingredient in insect repellents.
Lemon Tea Tree Oil: Lemon tea tree oil has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to repel insects. Its citrusy scent is particularly effective in deterring mosquitoes and other biting insects.
Citronella: Citronella oil and citronella candles are popular natural insect deterrents. Citronella oil masks scents that are attractive to mosquitoes, effectively repelling them. When used in candles, citronella creates a barrier that keeps insects away from your immediate area.
Each of these essential oils has been carefully chosen for their insect-repelling properties, making Good Riddance insect repellents both effective and natural.
