a family of insect repellants with style, power, safety and global appeal.
12 continuous hours of powerful protection from mosquitoes, ticks, and other pests. Pure DEET only protects for 10 hours.
Invented in 1946 by the US Army, DEET acts as a solvent, aggressively dissolving plastics and freely absorbing into your bloodstream. Picaridin is not a solvent, dissolves nothing and absorbs far less.
Picaridin's natural but slightly peppery scent gently masked by a delightful fragrance: both vanish within minutes after application. So spray fearlessly! Apply indoors or outdoors: no one will mind.
Lightweight formula dries quickly. No lingering residue or chemical scent. Enjoy a clean, protected feel.
“DEET does work but it’s broken. Like me, other people rightly perceive it's synonymous with poison: it has an unnecessarily high toxicity profile and other negative attributes compared to many alternatives. We can fix this.
Enter Picaridin. Better. Longer lasting. Less side-effects. Using my pharmaceutical experience and working with leading laboratories, we developed a cleaner, safer, better repellent using this active ingredient. We then coupled that with more sustainable delivery mechanisms to address my other principal concern, environmental responsibility. Top that with Mike's expertise and we proudly offer you Grand Tongo.”
“How do you feel when shopping for an insect repellent? Perhaps, like me, you felt confused by all the claims and repelled by packaging that mostly looks like oven cleaners?
I’ve created many products and brands over the decades—the last being Cremo, which tens of millions of people enjoy every day. We took all that expertise and used it to clean up and improve the obviously troubled category of repellents. Science, safety, ingenuity, style, design, clearly written packaging and attractive scents all brought together to bring you what we hope you will agree is the grandest repellent of them all: Grand Tongo."
Grand Tongo lasts longer and feels cleaner
than other insect repellents.
