Why People Are Moving Away from DEET
For decades, DEET has been the go-to insect repellent — but growing health and environmental concerns are driving a major shift. Many people now report irritation, a strong chemical smell, and even fabric damage from DEET-based products.
As consumers become more conscious of what goes on their skin, they’re turning toward natural insect repellents that offer protection without harsh side effects.
Are Natural Insect Repellents Effective?
Absolutely. Today’s natural formulations use proven ingredients like Citriodiol (from lemon eucalyptus), which is endorsed by the CDC and World Health Organization as a highly effective mosquito repellent.
At Camo, our plant-based repellents are designed to match — and often exceed — the performance of traditional chemical options, while remaining kind to your skin and the planet.
✅ DEET-free
✅ Lab-tested protection
✅ Fresh, natural scent
✅ Safe for the whole family
Market Trends: Natural Repellents Are on the Rise
The demand for clean, natural protection is exploding:
-
Europe’s plant-based mosquito repellent market is growing at 9.6% CAGR
-
North America now accounts for $400M+ in natural repellent sales, and climbing
This isn’t just a trend — it’s a long-term shift in consumer behaviour, especially among outdoor lovers, parents, and health-conscious travellers.
