When summer arrives and we spend more time outdoors, we’re joined not only by sunshine but also by some unwelcome visitors: mosquitoes, flies, and other insects. Many people turn to repellents containing DEET for protection. But while DEET is effective, it can also be harsh on your skin and the skin of children. Deet is also not natures best friend.

Fortunately, there’s a gentler, more natural alternative: Bondi Wash Stay Away Cream and Stay Away Spray.

What’s the problem with DEET?

DEET is a synthetic insect repellent used since the 1950s. It works, but it comes with downsides:

Can cause skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin
Can damage synthetic materials (clothing, sunglasses, nail polish, paint)
Chemically harsh for the environment

In short, it’s not something you may want to put on your skin daily, especially for children or anyone with delicate skin.

The power of natural ingredients

The Stay Away Cream and Stay Away Spray are made with over 99% plant-derived ingredients and contain no harsh chemicals. Instead, they rely on a smart blend of Australian native essential oils like blue cypress, plus andiroba oil from the Amazon, both known for their insect-repelling and skin-soothing benefits.

Key benefits:

Gentle on the skin – ideal for daily use
Naturally repels insects using potent botanical extracts
Dual action: protects and soothes existing bites
Fresh Native Lemon scent – no chemical smell

How to use them together

For the best protection, apply Stay Away Cream to your skin first to nourish and shield. Then, top up with Stay Away Spray throughout the day, perfect for quick reapplication on the go.

A conscious choice for you and the planet

By choosing a natural alternative like Bondi Wash, you reduce the chemical load on your skin and the environment so you can enjoy the outdoors with peace of mind.
