The Story of DEET — And Why We Chose a Different Path
DEET has been around for nearly 80 years. It was created by the U.S. Army in the 1940s, built for soldiers in some of the world’s toughest environments. When it hit the shelves in the 1950s, it quickly became the default choice for anyone wanting serious protection.
But DEET was never designed for modern families, weekend travellers, or everyday explorers. It’s powerful, yes—but harsh on skin, tough on fabrics, and anything but enjoyable to wear.
At Camo®, we believe protection doesn’t have to come with compromises. So while DEET shaped the past, we’re shaping the future—using plant-derived actives that keep you safe, smell better, feel better, and fit the way people actually live today.

Lets compare.
DEET has been the go-to for decades, but it comes with drawbacks: a strong chemical smell, potential to damage fabrics, and mixed guidance around use on children.
Camo® offers a modern alternative. Powered by a plant-derived active, it delivers up to 11 hours of protection, is safe for fabrics, and has a fresh, natural scent. It’s ideal for families, travellers, and anyone who wants long-lasting protection without harsh chemicals.
