Trusted by Australian Families

"This not only works perfectly, but it smells so good that I wore it on my wedding day! The lotion spreads easily over the skin so a small pump goes a long way."

AMANDA

"The best repellent that actually works. My son suffers from eczema and has allergic reactions when bitten by mozzies so it was important to find something gentle on the skin that was also effective at preventing bites."

DANNI

I definitely recommend it!"

In a controlled trial, 40 volunteers placed their arm into a cage with 55 hungry mosquitoes. When protected with Fend®, the first bites were recorded only after 13.8 hours.


Frequently Asked Questions

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.

No. FEND is completely DEET-free.

Instead, FEND uses IR3535®, a globally recognised active ingredient that provides long-lasting protection whilst remaining gentle on skin. This allows FEND to deliver up to 14 hours of mosquito protection without the strong smell or greasy feel often associated with traditional DEET-based repellents.

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.

FEND combines four key benefits:

  • 14 hours of mosquito protection
  • DEET-free formulation
  • Suitable from 2 months of age
  • Lightweight, non-greasy feel

Combined with exclusive StayTec™ technology, FEND was developed for people who want powerful protection without compromising comfort.

Yes. FEND is designed for everyday use, whether you're heading outdoors, travelling overseas, enjoying a summer barbecue or simply spending time in your backyard.
