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.
