The best 3 natural mosquito repellent for kids

At the top of our recommendation list for the best natural mosquito repellent for kids is the range from Good Riddance. They are clinically proven to work and this insect repellent range is registered with the APVMA.

They have 2 very different formulas that cater to the general population and also to those with sensitivities. Which one is right for your kids?

Good Riddance Tropical can be used on children from the age of 2 and up. It was developed in Darwin and tested in the Kakadu, so Australia threw everything it could at this formula in those conditions. Better than a spray, both Good Riddance formulas are blended in a cream base. They use shea butter and beeswax at the core of the blend for two main reasons. One, it provides an extra physical barrier on the skin (like a mineral sunscreen does), and two, the essential oils are held on the skin longer in a cream base than a spray, reducing the amount of times you need to reapply.

Good Riddance Sensitive is Australia's only clinically proven insect repellent for babies from 3 months and also for use during pregnancy and for use on sensitive skin and those with eczema. The active ingredients are a different set of essential oils with further details to be found on the product pages.

6 hour protection in a spray on and tested to be safe to use on children over the age of 12 months, but we do recommend patch testing all of the products on young children, even the sensitive blends.

This product is not designed to kill insects, (by poisoning either them OR you), instead, the powerful combination of natural extracts and essential oils makes you virtually invisible to their senses. The active ingredient is an essential oil (Lemon Eucalyptus) and it's blended with both lavender and sandalwood essential oil to keep mozzies and other insects off your scent. Aloe, chamomile, green tea and cucumber are in the spray for their calming and soothing effects in the essential oil blend.
