How It Works
Wild Away Spray uses a natural blend of essential oils and ethanol to mask human scent cues and disrupt insect olfactory receptors. Eucalyptus citriodora (Citriodiol®) and citronella oils confuse the sensory systems of insects, preventing them from landing and biting. The alcohol base allows quick evaporation and clean application, while skin-friendly carriers like sesame oil provide moisture and comfort.
