The OFF! Botanicals Wipes provide a controlled way to apply plant-based repellent using a sturdy, non-woven cloth. Tests show that this delivery method helps minimize waste and prevents the accidental inhalation that can occur with sprays. The 10-count pack features individual foil-laminate packaging, which specifications indicate is a critical feature for maintaining the moisture and chemical stability of the repellent over time.
The active formula is derived from a compound found in Lemon Eucalyptus, designed to offer a "dry-feel" finish that avoids the greasy residue often associated with botanical oils. However, because the carrier oils can interact with certain materials, it is best to avoid touching plastic items like sunglasses or watch faces immediately after use to maintain the integrity of those surfaces.
Usage Considerations
- Apply using the pre-saturated wipe to ensure even coverage without over-application.
- Use caution when applying over heavy body hair, as the cloth may experience minor pilling.
- Dispose of the individual wrappers thoughtfully, as the single-use format contributes to a larger environmental footprint compared to bulk containers.
If you prefer a formula specifically designed for infants and sensitive skin, you might consider the Babyganics plant-based wipes which offer a different essential oil blend.
These wipes are a convenient addition to your family's outdoor kit and can be stored easily alongside other disposable mosquito repellent wipes in a dedicated travel bin.
