A refreshing botanical spray that keeps mosquitoes, sandflies and insects at bay using the power of pure essential oils - no DEET, no synthetic chemicals, nothing artificial.
'Buzz Off!' is handcrafted with a base of Witch Hazel and a synergistic blend of five pure essential oils - each chosen specifically for their natural insect-repelling properties and their combined aroma.
Unlike conventional repellents that rely on DEET or synthetic compounds, this spray works with nature rather than against it, creating a protective aromatic barrier that insects find genuinely unpleasant - while leaving your skin smelling clean and fresh.
The Essential Oils and Why They Work
Lemongrass - One of the most widely recognised natural insect repellents. Its sharp, citrusy aroma is highly effective at deterring mosquitoes and other flying insects.
Lavender - Calming to humans, deterring to insects. Lavender adds a soft, herbal note to the blend and has well-established insect-repelling properties.
Eucalyptus - A natural insect deterrent with a fresh, cooling scent. Lemon Eucalyptus in particular is one of the most studied plant-based repellent ingredients.
Peppermint - Insects dislike the intensity of peppermint. It adds a refreshing, invigorating top note and contributes to the blend's protective effect.
Basil - A lesser-known but effective natural insect repellent, adding an uplifting herbal depth to the overall fragrance.
Lightweight, fast-drying and pleasant to wear. Safe for the whole family. Also available as a pure essential oil blend for use in your diffuser indoors.
Looking for extra protection? Our 'Coco-nutty Lemon-grassy' Whipped Body Butter also contains Lemongrass Essential Oil and works beautifully as a complementary layer of natural protection.

Does it actually work without DEET?
Yes - but it works differently to DEET. DEET chemically blocks insect receptors. Natural essential oil repellents work by creating an aromatic barrier that insects find unpleasant. The key is reapplying regularly - every 1-2 hours rather than the longer window some synthetic repellents offer. For high-insect environments like camping or tramping, reapply frequently for best results.
Is it safe for children? Yes. Because it contains no DEET or synthetic chemicals, it is safe for use on children. For young children, spray onto your hands first and apply carefully, avoiding the face area.
Can I use it on my face? Spray onto your hands first and apply carefully to the face, avoiding eyes and mouth. Do not spray directly onto the face.
Does it work on sandflies? Lemongrass and Lavender in particular have shown effectiveness against sandflies. As with all natural repellents, reapplication is important - especially in high sandfly areas like beaches and riverbanks.
How long does it last? Reapply every 1-2 hours, or after swimming or sweating. Natural repellents don't last as long as DEET-based products but contain none of the associated chemicals.
Can I use it indoors in a diffuser? The spray is formulated for skin application. For indoor use, the Buzz Off! Pure Essential Oil Blend is designed for diffusers and oil burners.
