A sheet of small peel-and-stick patches, infused with citronella and peppermint oil, made to go on clothing rather than skin. Press one near a collar, a cuff, a sock line — wherever a mosquito would usually find you — and it works quietly for hours without a spray bottle, a greasy lotion or a cloud of chemical smell. With 90 to a box, one purchase covers a season of patios, campsites and backyard evenings for everyone in the household aged 3 and up, instead of buying separate packs for different ages.
Why Choose the Luna Naturals Mosquito Repellent Patches?
- One Box For Ages 3 And Up: 90 patches in a single SKU means parents and kids aged 3 and up share one box instead of buying a kids' pack and an adults' pack separately.
- DEET-Free Formula: Repels using 12% citronella oil and 3% peppermint oil instead of DEET, so there's no synthetic insecticide going on clothing near skin.
- Full Ingredient Transparency: Every active and inert ingredient is listed on the pack — citronella, peppermint, zinc oxide, calcium carbonate, almond oil — where most patch brands only say "essential oil blend."
- No Mess, No Spray: Peel, stick to fabric, done — no rubbing in lotion or spraying near a child's face.
- Leaping Bunny Certified Cruelty-Free: The brand's full range, including this product, carries Leaping Bunny certification, so nothing here was tested on animals.
Perfect For
- Households with kids aged 3 and up and adults who don't want to buy a separate kids' pack and an adults' pack for the same camping trip
- Anyone who finds spray or lotion repellents greasy or strong-smelling and wants a peel-and-stick option worn on clothing instead
- Parents looking for a DEET-free option suitable for kids 3 years and older, to use alongside adult family members
- Campers, hikers and backyard barbecue hosts who want a full season's supply of citronella patches in one box
- Shoppers who read ingredient labels and want to know exactly what's in a repellent before it goes near their kids

FAQs
Are these mosquito patches safe to put directly on a child's skin?
No — the patches are designed to be placed on clothing near exposed body areas, not directly on skin, and they're suitable for kids 3 years and older. Anyone allergic to essential oils should avoid direct skin contact with the patch.
What's actually in Luna Naturals mosquito patches, and is DEET one of the ingredients?
The active ingredients are 12% citronella oil and 3% peppermint oil, with inert ingredients including zinc oxide, calcium carbonate and almond oil — no DEET and no parabens. The full ingredient panel is printed on the pack.
How does buying 90 patches compare to buying separate kids' and adults' repellent packs?
Most competing brands sell a 24-40 count kids' pack and a separate adult pack, meaning two purchases for one household. This 90-patch box covers everyone aged 3 and up from a single SKU, which lowers the cost per patch versus buying two smaller packs.
How long does one citronella patch last, and where should I stick it?
Peel the patch off the sheet and place it on clothing near exposed skin — a collar, cuff or sock line works well — rather than directly on skin. Use the pack's weight-based chart to judge how many patches to apply per person.
Is this repellent tested on animals or made with cruelty-free practices?
Luna Naturals' range, including this product, is Leaping Bunny certified cruelty-free. The brand also states its products use plant-based ingredients powered by essential oils.

How to Use
Place it on clothing near exposed body areas - not directly on skin.
Check the weight-based chart for how many patches to use per person.
Pro-Tip: stick one near a cuff or collar where fabric sits close to skin, so the scent stays with you as you move.
