What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this mosquito and tick repellent for its non-greasy, fragrance-free formula that feels light and fast-drying on skin. Reviewers consistently report strong protection lasting up to eight hours, even in high-exposure environments, with many noting the picaridin active ingredient is equally effective as DEET but gentler. The even spray mist applies easily and works well for sensitive skin without irritation. Most customers express strong intent to repurchase and recommend it to others. A very small number mention minor issues like faint odor or occasional staining, but these are outliers in overwhelmingly positive feedback.

Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review.) I tend to spend more time outdoors as it warms up, and apparently I'm very sweet because mosquitoes absolutely love me. Every summer, I end up with polka dots from mosquito bites. I'm excited to try STEM's Mosquito + Tick Repellent and avoid that happening this year!

Fragrance Free!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. It really does not have a smell. Bug spray smell is the worst and this one doesn't have that smell. I always hate going to bed smelling like spray and now I won't have to. Great product.

Great product. Not greasy and doesn't smell bad
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. Smells pretty good. Doesn't have super strong odor. Dries fast once put on skin. Doesn't feel greasy or oily. Once on skin and dried don't notice any smell. Great that it works for ticks and mosquitos and you can use for the whole family. Great product so far.

So far so good!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I like that this bug spray is actually non-greasy as advertised. The only fragrance is the typical bug spray smell but it isn't strong. I haven't had it on for a full eight hours but so far it hasn't given my sensitive skin any issues.

This product is fine.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This product has a very mild scent, it doesn't smell like typical bug spray. It smells like it would be hairspray instead. I was not attacked by evil bugs while wearing this bug spray.

Great product
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is a good product. I use bug spray often as I hike a lot. This one is nongreasy and it also smells good. It did a good job of repelling bugs.

Doesn't smell or feel like bug spray!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I love this STEM mosquito and tick repellent! It is fragrance free, so it doesn't have that "I smell like bug spray smell." It is also non-greasy, so it doesn't have that, "I can feel the bug spray on my skin hours after I applied it" feel. It's a great product, completely recommend.

I would buy this again.
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. All in all, it's a decent bug spray. It's light on the skin, and isn't as heavy as other brands. It works well enough and kept bugs away. I'd buy this again.

Not Stinky and Greasy
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. With the temperature rising, the mosquitos are back. My kids and I spend a lot of time in the backyard and I get attacked by mosquitos. I like that this product doesn't smell like traditional bug spray because I don't like those scents lingering. I also like that it's non-greasy, because normally I'd feel compelled to shower after wearing bug spray. This lets us keep the fun goi...

Great for your skin
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I tried the Stem For Your Skin Mosquito and Tick Repellent. This repellent advertised that it is non - greasy and fragrance free but it has fragrance and it is greasy. This repellent is not as greasy as other brands. This repellent has a nice fragrance. The button on the can was easy to push and the spray covered a decent amount of skin.

Compact and easy to use
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I go hiking and camping often and am always looking for bug spray. This is a good size, still easy to fit in my backpacking gear. It's not a gross consistency, doesn't have any overwhelming smell to it. and it was a good price too. Will definitely use.

Almost Perfect Just needs transparency about ingredients
Would Not Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The first thing I noticed was that the can design is sleek and modern with font that is easy to read, which is helpful . However, I did not like the vagueness of the listed ingredients. On the can, it states "Active ingredient: Picaridin" 20% and " Other Ingredients : 80%. Not listing the other 80% of ingredients could potentially cause this company to lose future sales from cus...

Amazing mosquito spray!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. First off, I want to say I'm the perfect candidate to try out Stem mosquito and tick repellent. When I saw that it was fragrance free I jumped right on the bandwagon. I'm currently 15 weeks pregnant and any smells have been so hard for me to manage. I didn't want to smell like anything. I am happy to say it has very little smell which is amazing. It's also not greasy which is am...

Hoping yes!!!
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. I am so excited to try this new mosquito+tick repellent! Especially because summer is right around the corner. I have a daughter who is allergic to mosquitos so I am hoping this helps her. It does say non-greasy which is a plus. :)
