There’s nothing worse than enjoying a beautiful day outdoors only to become a feast for mosquitoes, midges, and other biting insects. Whether you’re camping in the wild, traveling to a tropical destination, or just relaxing in your garden, protecting yourself from insect bites is essential—not just for comfort but also to help prevent diseases like malaria, dengue, and lyme disease.
Incognito Insect Repellent is an award winning, natural, highly effective solution that keeps bugs at bay without harmful chemicals. Unlike conventional repellents, Incognito uses plant-based power to make you practically invisible to insects.
But how does it work, and why should you choose it?
Why Choose Incognito?
Most insect repellents rely on DEET, a chemical that, while effective, has been linked to skin irritation and environmental concerns. Incognito Insect Repellent offers a DEET-free alternative that is just as powerful, while being safe for your skin, the environment, and even sensitive individuals.
Here’s what makes Incognito stand out:
- 100% Natural Ingredients – 100% natural and free from DEET. Contains the strongest form of plant based PMD, a natural compound derived from plants such as Citronella.
- Clinically Proven Protection – Scientifically tested to be as effective as leading chemical repellents.
- Safe for Everyone – Suitable for kids and people with sensitive skin, can be used from age 6 months +
- Eco-Friendly and Ethical – Vegan Certified, biodegradable, cruelty-free, and made with sustainable packaging. The packaging is made from renewable sugarcane plastic and is recyclable.
- B Corp - Incognito is proudly a B Corp certified company.
How Incognito Works: Mosquitoes and other biting insects find their victims through scent - specifically, the carbon dioxide and body odours we emit. Incognito works by altering your natural scent, making it harder for insects to detect you. Instead of masking your scent like some repellents, it disrupts the insect’s ability to locate you altogether.
Tips for Maximum Protection:
Apply Generously & Reapply as Needed – 100% protection for 4 hours and protection for up to 7 hours. Reapply after swimming, showering or perspiring.
Dress Smartly – Long sleeves and pants, light-coloured clothing is ideal because mosquitoes are attracted to dark colours.
Use Before Peak Biting Times – Mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk, so apply Incognito before heading out.
Don’t Forget Your Gear – Spraying repellent on clothes, backpacks, and even bedsheets can provide extra security, especially when traveling (we recommend patch testing first).
Perfect for Travel & Outdoor Adventures - Whether you're trekking through the Amazon rainforest, lounging on a tropical beach, or simply enjoying a weekend hike, Incognito is a must-have travel essential.
