5 Star Customer Reviews

A pleasant smelling and effective product which absorbs easily but you need to remember to apply it after sunscreen and top up regularly. I wasn’t sure if it would be up to the mosquitoes in hot, humid parts of South America, but found it effective most of the time, even on an island.5/5 Shari, Good Riddance Tropical Insect Repellent
Living in the tropics it’s almost impossible to avoid mosquito bites! I’m thrilled to find and instant, and natural cream to relive itches. Will definitely purchase again. It also has a lovely natural essential oil smell.5/5 Cindy, Good Riddance Natural Insect Bite Relief
Worked a great on my trip to Cape York5/5 Michaela, Good Riddance Tropical Insect Repellent
The smell is so lovely and delicate, not over powering.5/5 Diana, Good Riddance Natural Insect Bite Relief

General FAQs About Good Riddance

What are the benefits of using natural insect repellents compared to DEET repellents?

Using natural insect repellents offers several advantages over DEET-based repellents:

Gentle on the skin: The natural ingredients in the repellents that are 100% essential oil actives offer soothing benefits, reducing the risk of skin irritation while providing effective protection against insects.
Ideal for household mosquito repellent needs: Natural repellents are safe and effective for use around the home, ensuring protection for your family without the potential risks associated with DEET.
Eco-friendly: Unlike DEET, which can be harmful to the environment, natural insect repellents help protect both your loved ones and the planet with their environmentally conscious formulations.
Family-friendly: Natural repellents are safe for the entire family, including those with sensitive skin, babies over 3 months old, and even pregnant women. The Good Riddance Sensitive Insect Repellent is specially formulated to be gentle on the most delicate skin.

Is DEET insect repellent safe?

DEET insect repellent is generally considered safe when used as directed, however, it is important to be aware of potential concerns:

DEET can cause skin irritation, especially for those with sensitive skin.

DEET can be harmful to the environment, particularly aquatic life if it enters waterways.
DEET is not recommended for use on babies under 2 months old and should be used with caution on children and pregnant women.

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.

How do I apply Good Riddance insect repellent for the best results?

However, you can reapply as necessary, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Always follow the instructions on the product label.

Are there any side effects of using natural mozzie repellents?

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.

Are the essential oils used in Good Riddance a good natural insect deterrent?

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.

Each of these essential oils has been carefully chosen for their insect-repelling properties, making Good Riddance insect repellents both effective and natural.
