These natural wipes from Jartc offer a DEET-free solution using essential oils like Geraniol and Lemon Eucalyptus. The wipes are made from a spunlace non-woven fabric that is thick enough to withstand application on elbows and ankles without shredding. This material is designed to distribute the repellent evenly across the skin, helping to avoid the "missed spots" that can occur with spray-on products.
Because essential oils have a high evaporation rate, these wipes are best suited for short-term use and "nuisance-level" insect pressure rather than deep-woods expeditions. The 40-pack features a resealable adhesive flap, which can lose its stickiness in high humidity. To prevent the wipes from drying out, many users find success by storing the entire pack inside a secondary zip-top bag once the original seal is broken.
- Safe for use on skin and won't damage plastics or synthetic clothing.
- TSA-compliant format makes these a staple for carry-on luggage.
- A single pack provides a significant number of applications for a family outing.
If you prefer a more industrial-strength natural repellent in a larger wipe format, the S.C.R.U.B.S. Picaridin wipes offer longer-lasting protection.
Organize your travel-sized supplies by using backpack attachments and pouches to keep these wipes within reach during hikes.
