The BALLISTIC Difference
The insect repellent market is filled with solutions containing harsh chemicals or less than effective natural repellent ingredients. Enter, BALLISTIC: a picaridin-based insect repelling spray made in the USA with ingredients sourced from the US and Germany.
BALLISTIC contains 20% Picaridin, a synthetic compound created to resemble the natural compound found in plants used to make black pepper. Read more here >>. Picaridin does not kill insects, rather reduces their likeliness of biting by blocking them from sensing their target...which is YOU.

Giving Back
A portion of each BALLISTIC purchase is dedicated to supporting military Veteran organizations fighting vector- and water-related illnesses.
Our current contributions support Veterans Without Orders, a Veteran-led, non-profit, clean water organization that assists populations without clean water and other essential services. Veterans Without Orders focuses on the prevention of vector and water-related illnesses by implementing a whole-community education approach. On their most recent mission to the remote jungles of Guatemala, BALLISTIC successfully kept the team from coming home covered in insect bites.
