Matthew Matthew

Our testers risk their arms with continual tests over 6 hours for each mosquito repellent so you don’t have to. We find out which ones last long enough before you need to reapply, and list the active ingredients for each product as well as any associated claims.

 

We’ve also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
