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, dissolving plastics and 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.
"There are new, effective and longer-lasting ingredients for repellency that have been identified by way of molecular modeling that have lower toxicity profiles than ones like DEET, which was identified in the 1940’s. We should be using these newer ingredients and phasing older ingredients with higher toxicity profiles out of the marketplace. DEET proved well for the time it served; but through innovation we can evolve products to be better for consumers.
We proudly reviewed all ingredients available for insect repellency and developed products that resolved the complaints of consumers shopping for insect repellent. We created with consumers in mind first."
“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.
