Most plant-based sprays use raw essential oils - citronella, peppermint, cedar, lemongrass. They evaporate in minutes and have never been proven to repel ticks. OLE/PMD is a completely different compound. It's the only plant-based ingredient the CDC recommends by name - refined to 30% concentration and proven in a peer-reviewed study to outperform DEET against the Lone Star tick. It is not essential oil in a nicer bottle.

Each 100ml bottle gives you approximately 25 full-coverage applications. A full-coverage application means spraying all exposed skin - arms, legs, neck, and ankles. We recommend keeping one in your bag, one in your car, and one at home so you're never caught without it when you head outside.

No. OutGuard is a clear, lightweight formula. It won't stain fabric, discolor gear, or leave residue. Unlike DEET, it also won't dissolve synthetic materials, strip waterproof coatings, or damage plastics.

OutGuard is formulated for human use only. Don't apply it directly to your dog. For tick protection on your pet, use a product designed specifically for animals.

OutGuard has a light, clean eucalyptus scent that fades within a few minutes of application. It's nothing like the harsh chemical smell of DEET.

Both work. But DEET destroys gear and absorbs through your skin, and Picaridin is still a synthetic lab compound. OutGuard uses OLE/PMD at 30% - the only plant-based ingredient the CDC recommends alongside DEET - proven in a peer-reviewed study to outperform both against the Lone Star tick. Effective and clean. You don't have to pick one.
