CLINICALLY PROVEN TO REPEL MOSQUITOES FOR 14 HOURS.
But honestly, long-lasting protection is not enough.
Which is why Fend was thoughtfully created with your skin in mind. This gentle, hypoallergenic lotion is kind to even the most sensitive skin, including babies 2 months and up.
And best yet, it’s non-oily. In fact, it’s so light you might even forget you’ve got it on.
HOW IT WORKS
HOW IT WORKS
Fend’s active ingredient is an amino acid derivative that occurs naturally in the cucumber tree throughout Asia. It is gentle on the skin and sends a strong "buzz off" signal to pesky pests.
But the magic of Fend lies in its slow-release formulation. Extracts from mushrooms and algae form microscopic bubbles to keep the repellent on your skin, not in it.
Let Fend be your “set-and-forget” companion for bite-free days and nights.

HOW TO USE
Apply evenly over exposed skin, reapplying after swimming or showering. Rinses off easily in water when protection is no longer needed.
Clinically proven across 4 species of disease-carrying mosquitoes, Fend® is the longest-lasting DEET-free repellent available.
Apply once for protection all day or all night.
Yes. Despite the intimidating name, it's an amino acid found naturally in the Averrhoa bilimbi tree ("cucumber tree").
It is a colourless and odourless extract that is effective in repelling bites and stings from mosquitos, ticks, and other insects.
Instead of quickly being absorbed into the skin or evaporating in the sun, the active ingredient is held in natural microcapsules, formed from algae and mushroom extracts.
These tiny "bubbles" burst over the course of hours, smoothing out the release of the repellent over time.
Fend feels more like a moisturiser than a typical oily repellent. It spreads on smoothly, then dries in seconds leaving almost no trace.
In fact, in development the test users weren't even able to tell whether they had it on, so a subtle and fresh fragrance was added as a reminder.
Once dry, the scent is faint and pleasant. It is difficult to describe, but we can assure you it's not overpowering.
We're not going to beat up on the competition, but it is worth noting a few ways that Fend is different to other natural repellents.
1. Effectiveness: It is the longest-lasting DEET-free repellent available anywhere.
2. Feel: Most alternatives use an oily active ingredient, leaving the skin feeling a bit icky after. Fend applies smoothly and dries residue-free.
3. Safety: Although the ingredients are safe, the fact that Fend holds the repellent on the skin (rather than in it) reduces the amount that is absorbed through the skin and enters the bloodstream.
Fend is safe for use on babies as young as 2 months, but we recommend not putting any on the back of their hands as they tend to rub their eyes which can sting.
Not going to lie, it doesn't taste great. But we assume you won't be licking it for fun.
It can also sting the eyes, so keep it clear of them.
Otherwise, it does what it says it does - safely repels mosquitoes for long periods!
The active ingredient is known to protect against bites from mosquitoes, sandflies, ticks, black flies and wasps.
However, we are only able to make a 14 hour protection claim for mosquitoes since this is the insect that has been tested in clinical studies.
