The Buzz Away Extreme Towelettes offer a DEET-free repellent solution in a convenient 25-count pop-up dispenser. The wipes use a spunlace fabric that is soft enough for use on a child's face, provided you avoid the eye area. The formula features an ethoxylated castor oil base, which specifications indicate helps the volatile essential oils, such as Citronella and Lemongrass, stay stable on the cloth for a longer period.
While the formula is highly rated for comfort, the polypropylene dispenser lacks a secondary gasket, which can lead to the top-most wipes drying out if the lid isn't perfectly sealed. Reapplication is typically needed every two hours, as plant-based oils evaporate faster than synthetic chemicals. Some users may notice a slightly tacky feel on the skin in high heat due to the oil carrier.
Management Tips
- Store the canister in a cool area or inside a zip-top bag to help maintain the seal integrity.
- Use the towelette format to ensure 100% coverage without the inhalation risks of sprays.
- The DEET-free profile makes these safe for use around synthetic outdoor gear.
For a natural option in individual sachets that are less prone to drying out in a backpack, the LA Fresh DEET-Free wipes are a great choice.
