Hunt Repellent is a DEET-free, scent-free insect repellent that is specifically designed not to scare game.

HUNT Repellent stands out for its clean ingredients, refined feel, and effective protection without compromise.

Unlike many conventional repellents that rely on harsh chemicals, HUNT uses a DEET-free formula that’s skin-friendly, non-toxic, and safe for families. It’s also crafted to avoid the oily, sticky feel typical of many natural repellents.

What is the active ingredient?

The active ingredient is Picaridin (chemical name: 1-Piperidinecarboxylic Acid, 2-(2-hydroxyethyl)-, 1-methylpropylester), at a concentration of 20%. Picaridin is a proven and widely recommended alternative to DEET for repelling mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and more.

What are the other ingredients?

The remaining 80% of the formula includes:

• Ethyl Alcohol – helps deliver the formula evenly and dries quickly
  
• Glycerol (Glycerin) – helps condition the skin
  
• Water – acts as a solvent and base
• Other components listed as trade secrets to protect our proprietary blend

HUNT Repellent protects against a wide range of biting insects with long-lasting performance you can count on.

- Up to 14 hours of protection with lotion and 12 hours with spray against:

• Mosquitoes
• Ticks

- Up to 8 hours of protection against:

• Biting Flies
• Stable Flies
• Black Flies
• Gnats
• Chiggers
• Sand Flies
• Scottish Biting Midges (no-see-ums)

HUNT Repellent is scent-free, but you may notice a faint alcohol smell when first applied. That’s completely normal.

The quick-drying base of our formula uses alcohol to help deliver active ingredients evenly and ensure the product dries fast without feeling greasy or sticky. The alcohol evaporates quickly and does not leave a lingering fragrance on your skin or clothes.

Yes, HUNT Repellent is formulated with safety in mind.

We use DEET-free ingredients that are gentle on the skin and non-toxic, making it a safer choice for the whole family. However, it is important to test on a small area of skin first to check for any sensitivity.

No, HUNT Repellent is designed to feel clean and comfortable on your skin.

Our lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs quickly without leaving behind a sticky or oily residue.

No, HUNT Repellent is safe to use on your skin and your gear.

Because our formula is DEET-free, it won't degrade or damage plastics, synthetic materials, or coatings the way traditional repellents often do. That means you can confidently use HUNT around items like sunglasses, watchbands, technical clothing, backpacks, and even firearms without worrying about staining, melting, or surface damage.

For effective and safe protection, HUNT Repellent should be applied according to these guidelines:

For Lotion:

• Apply a thin, even layer directly to exposed skin.
• Do not exceed two applications per day. More frequent use is unnecessary.
• Avoid contact with lips, cuts, wounds, irritated or sunburned skin, and do not apply under clothing.
• Apply sparingly around the ears, and do not apply to the hands of small children.
• When using on children, apply the repellent to your hands first, then gently rub it onto the child's exposed skin. For the face and neck, apply to your hands first and spread it carefully, avoiding the eyes, mouth, and applying sparingly around the ears. Do not allow children to handle the product.
• For facial application on adults, spread small amounts onto your palms, then gently apply to the face and neck, avoiding the eyes and mouth.

For Spray:

• Hold the bottle about 6–8 inches away from your skin and spray evenly.
• Do not exceed two applications per day. More frequent use is unnecessary.
• As with the lotion, avoid contact with lips, cuts, wounds, irritated or sunburned skin, and do not apply under clothing.
• Apply sparingly around the ears, and do not apply to the hands of small children.
• When applying to children, spray into your hands first and then apply to the child’s exposed skin. For the face and neck, spray into your hands and gently apply, ensuring to avoid the eyes, mouth, and applying sparingly around the ears. Do not allow children to handle the product.
• For facial application on adults, spray into your hands first, then gently spread over the face and neck, avoiding the eyes and mouth.
  

We recommend using HUNT Repellent on its own for the best results.

HUNT is specifically formulated to provide long-lasting protection against mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects, so there should be no need for additional repellent when applied as directed.

Layering mutliple products may lead to skin irritation or reduced effectiveness.

To maintain the effectiveness and safety of HUNT Repellent, please follow these storage guidelines:

• Store in a cool, dry place
• Avoid leaving in direct sunlight
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Avoid transferring to other containers
