Good Riddance Tropical Insect Repellent 100mL

Both formulas are equally effective at repelling insects. The main differences are in scent, feel, and who can use them:

Good Riddance Sensitive: Best for babies (3+ months), children, pregnant women, and sensitive skin, Gentler scent and slightly thicker cream, Works exceptionally well against midges and sandflies.

Good Riddance Tropical: For ages 2 years and older, stronger lemon-citrus scent and lighter cream texture, slightly more effective against mosquitoes.

Still unsure? Our Adventure Pack includes both formulas so you can discover which scent and feel you prefer. Most customers have a clear favorite after trying both!

Good Riddance Sensitive is specially formulated for pregnancy and babies (3+ months old). Many expectant and new mothers love and trust our Sensitive formula because it's gentle yet effective.

However, we do recommend consulting a GP/health care professional during pregnancy as everyone and every pregnancy journey is unique. We also recommend a 24 hour patch test before first use.

Our products have been tested and will last for at least 2 years from date of manufacture. You will find a batch number and a EXP date at the top of each tube of Good Riddance repellent.

Our Good Riddance insect repellent range does NOT contain Melaleuca alternifolia (Tea Tree) oil, which is not recommended for use around dogs. Instead, it contains Lemon Scented Tea Tree, derived from a different plant species, which does not have the same adverse effects on dogs. Many of our customers use our Tropical repellent on their dogs to repel mosquitoes, midges, or sandflies by applying a small amount behind their ears and on their undercarriage, which is the main area where dogs are bitten. For dogs with particularly sensitive skin, we recommend using the Sensitive repellent, as it contains less-irritating essential oils suitable for sensitive skin. The Rescue Balm can also be used as a spot treatment on dogs to help relieve itch and inflammation caused by insect bites. We have received glowing reviews about the effectiveness of our range for dogs, and it has been stocked by a pet store in Darwin called “Aussie Pooch” for nearly five years without any adverse reactions.

In Australia, all insect repellents must be approved by the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA). The APVMA is an Australian government regulatory body who manage the registration of all agricultural and veterinary chemical products in Australia. All insect repellents for human use, including chemical-based products and natural plant-based alternatives, like Good Riddance, are required by law to be registered with the APVMA before they can be sold in Australia. Products approved by the APVMA have been scientifically assessed as safe and effective.

We are passionate advocates for animal protection and only include ingredients certified by Choose Cruelty Free to guarantee that our ingredients have never been tested on animals. The Good Riddance Tropical and Sensitive Insect Repellents have both undergone clinical and field trials where they were tested (on humans) to see if they repel mosquitoes and midges. We also test our repellents on mozzies, midges & sandflies (to determine its efficacy), and unfortunately they classify these as testing on animals. Otherwise, no.
