EDITOR’S NOTE
Coconut Matter Ecorepel Deet-Free Insect Repellent is a natural, kid-safe bug spray that uses plant-based ingredients to repel insects and soothe bites.
THE DETAILS
- DEET is a strong plasticiser that can melt rain jackets, sandals and backpacks if not stored correctly.
- DEET mosquito repellent has oily feel and its strong chemical smell is unpleasant.
- Many people choose higher DEET concentrations thinking it works better, but all it does is make the effect last longer - which could have negative reactions on our skin.
