Q: Is this considered aerosol spray?
submitted by CSM - 7 months ago
A: Hello, CSM. Thank you for the question. It is not an aerosol. We utilize bag-on-valve technology, similar to that used in the sunscreen market. There is an inner bag that the formula is in. The bag is surrounded by air, and when the actuator is pressed, the air squeezes the bag to dispense the formula. Kindness is contagious, Mike Lyon CEO

Q: Can you spray this on clothes or does it stain?
submitted by Bren - 7 months ago
A: Hello, Bren. It has never stained my clothes and I have sprayed it on directly. does not stain. However, every fabric is different so I would test it first on a small. Kindness is contagious, Mike Lyon CEO

Q: Can this be used on kids under age 3?
submitted by KB - 7 months ago
A: Hello, KB. Yes, it can. However, I would recommend using our 100% Natural Oil Kids formula. It is a certified moisturizer so it will make your little one's skin even softer. :) Simply spray a little in your hand and rub it to any exposed skin. full coverage is critical for full protection, just like sunscreen. Shubug Kids and Natural are also the only insect repellent in the world certified by the Detox Project. Kindness is contagious, MIke Lyon CEO

This is the only mosquito repellent I will use from here on out. The scent is not nearly as strong as others and it lays on the skin nicely. It didn’t irritate my husband’s sensitive skin either so that’s a huge plus! So excited to finally find something we enjoy as the insects get me bad!

Great insect repellent
Great insect repellent. Daycare used on him during camp one week and he came home without any bites. Also, no lingering smells when he came home. We would definitely buy and use this again. Does well like other brand names and did last like it says it will.

Ok
It's kinda greasy. Also says it's unscented but it does smell. Not terrible still a scent though I think it works it's still early in season to tell how well it works. Especially once the bugs get bad that will be the real test

Very good
Finally, a bug spray that doesn't smell pungent and actually does the job. I've tried all sorts of sprays, because mosquitos seem to love me more than the average person. Most smell very strong, but this is more of a very light fresh smell I can hardly tell that I've applied. And it works! I haven't been bitten while using this. I feel better applying this on the family as well. Good product.

Works well to keep mosquitoes at bay
Did a great job keeping mosquitoes away and didn’t feel sticky or runny at all. I sprayed this on my kiddo’s legs for a golf tournament and he stayed bug free and comfortable for the whole round. Pleasant scent that isn’t overpowering

No smell
I work from home and as the weather is just getting nice, have not really spent much time outside. This clicks to lock and unlock. Sprayed it outside and did not smell anything. The spray radius was pretty wide so you have to hold it almost a for away from your body. Used it on a 30 minute walk but does to last up to 12 hours!

This is a great bug spray that doesn't stink!
I'm going to cut right to the chase - the best thing about this bug spray is that it doesn't stink! It doesn't make you smell like chemicals NOR like flowery soap. It has a barely there scent when you spray it that doesn't linger. It feels great on the skin and it really does help keep the bugs away! Also the entire packaging is adorable. A winner!

Safe repellent
This Shubug Active Insect Repellent Spray is perfect to use for the whole family and especially my kids. They love spending time outside and this spray keeps the bugs and especially mosquitos away for 12 hours. I love that this spray contains plant based ingredients. The spray is easy to apply without making the skin feeling sticky. This safe repellent will be a staple for the summer!

New obsession!
Light and airy and not stinky. Kids did not mind wearing this one bit. Not like the other brands where you instantly smell like you're wearing bug spray- this one actually worked and didn't leave you smelling stinky.

Great bug spray
This stuff is amazing. I hate using typical bug spray because it stinks and is sticky. This is neither of those things. No real odor once it dries, and not sticky on your skin. This is a winning combo. Plus no cap to lose, with the swivel cap.

Amazing Product - No Deet
You won't believe how well this works even though it is all natural. I feel much better about putting it on my kids and it works as well (if not better) than the chemical brands!

One application a day with a light spray!
I typically buy Shubug natural but wanted to try this Active can! It’s not a natural oil so it sprays a lot lighter but still just as effective! One application lasted me all day, no bites!

Shubug really works!
Found this new brand at my local Target store and thought I’d give it a try. So glad I did because I will not buy any other brand going forward. This stuff REALLY WORKS!
