Oily & doesn't repel mosquitoes
This is awful. First of all, it’s super oily and gross. I was expecting a spritz type of spray. Also, I think he got bit by more mosquitos after I sprayed him than before I put it on almost like it was attracting them to him. Smells great though.

It works and isnt loaded with scary chemicals!
I found this bug repellent when my little dude was getting attacked my mosquitos. I try to be more aware what we are putting on our bodies so I started searching for a cleaner option. This kept popping up in my google searches. My next concern was if it would actually work. I’m here to say it 100 percent works. It’s very earthy or herby and strong. I personally like the smell. I feel good about spraying this all over my kiddo. My husband and I also both use this and it works for us too.

From oily to sticky
Too oily. Even layered with sunscreen be prepared to have a sunburn. It’s like living the 80’s again, smearing baby oil all over oneself. I cannot imagine putting this on a baby and exposing them to any sunlight. It does require several reapplications. It feels oily when you apply and quickly turns sticky. Everything attaches to it, bugs, dirt, leaves.

Nope! Too greasy
The product leaves a greasy and oily residue all over the skin. There are other baby safe essential oil products out there that do not leave this feeling. I won’t buy this again. It also doesn’t last very long. Maybe 30 minutes before the bugs are biting again but the grease is still there. They have an aerosol version that may be better but I won’t waste money purchasing this brand again.

Greasy and expensive
I was so excited to see a natural insect repellent option but this was a miss for us. The spray left my son looking and feeling very greasy. The scent was overall pleasant which might be its only redeeming quality. In hindsight, I suppose this should be expected from an oil-based product but it really took the wind out of the excitement I had for this product, especially given the price point. We ended up only using this once or twice and now it’s collecting dust. Next year I might try a patch method and spray this “on” something to have my kids wear, but otherwise this was a waste of money for us :(

Skin Rash
Immediately after apply to my 10 month old son he broke out in a skin rash everywhere this was applied. We washed immediately and used topical and oral Benadryl and the rash was gone in a couple days. Can you please provide the inactive ingredients list? The only known allergy my son has is pumpkin. Thank you!

Good smell but stains clothing
Great smell. Not sure it helped bugs. Left stains on clothing. Sad.

Lots of bites and very oily!
I’ve been trying to use this bug spray for my littles (and myself) all summer and it seems to attract bugs to us, I always spray from 10-12” away and yet always manage to be an oily mess, I get grass and dirt all stuck to my legs and have to shower to get the oil off after. I wanted to like this but I really think you’re better off with a different spray

I’m so sorry to hear this. Our natural insect repellant uses a blend of plant and essential oils (Citronella, Peppermint, Rosemary, Lemongrass & Geranium) that works to keep pesky mosquitoes away. As your experience isn’t what we’d expect, we’d appreciate the chance to help further. When you have a moment to chat, please give us a call at 1-800-378-7803 (Monday through Friday 8 AM to 5 PM CT) and mention reference number 020489095A. – Skye, Babyganics Consumer Care

Great scent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the light (and non-chemical) smell of this bug spray AND it keeps my kiddos bite free while exploring outdoors! We live in an area with lots of mosquitos and gnats, this bug spray works great to keep them at bay so my kiddos and I can enjoy the outdoors without bug bites! I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Pleasant scent and no DEET
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product in exchange for my honest review. My kids and I liked the scent of this product and I loved that it didn't have all of the chemicals! We tried it on a recent vacation and it seemed to work well, though I admit there weren't a whole lot of bugs yet this spring. I look forward to using it more as the weather gets warmer!

Insect Repellent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received Babyganics Natural Insect Repellent in exchange for an honest review. The first thing I noticed was it is made of natural essential oils which is great but the spray is very oily. I thought the smell was pleasant, I typically can't stand the smell of bug spray. The spray worked well on my kids and I would recommend.

Love the natural ingredients and scent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a big fan of this insect repellent! I love that it's made with natural oils and is completely DEET free. It smells like citronella and lemongrass, which I love! Nice, simple spray bottle, easy to apply. This may well replace the other natural repellent that my family has been using for many years now. * I received this product in exchange for honest feedback

A Summer Must Have!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like and trust this product. I feel safe using it on my kiddos, and it is effective. The scent is not overpowering and the spray is easy to use and apply. This product was given to me in exchange for a review.

Chemical Free
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like that this is chemical/deet free. It does have a strong smell but I believe that is what makes it work. I typically buy this to send to my kids school in the summer since they are outside a lot. I will say it does not work consistently, especially in our backyard as I notice the kids still have bite marks occasionally.

Greasy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoyed that this product was deet free, and the scent was nice, however, it was VERY oily. My children were not protected for bugs as indicated, rather they seemed to attract every bug to them! I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
