We got tired of repellents that don't work.

So we built one that actually knows who you are.

The problem with “just spray more”

You know the drill. You spray on the same generic repellent as everyone else, and two hours later you're covered in bites while your friend sitting next to you has zero. It's not bad luck — it's biology.

Your body produces a unique cocktail of chemical signals that mosquitoes use to find you. Your CO₂ output, lactic acid levels, body temperature, skin bacteria, even your blood type — they all factor in. A repellent that ignores all of that is just hoping for the best.

We thought there had to be a better way.

A smarter approach

SKEETR starts with a 60-second quiz that maps your body chemistry, lifestyle, and environment. From there, our algorithm matches you to one of five plant-powered formulas — each with different active ingredient concentrations and profiles.

Not the strongest formula. Not the cheapest. The right one.

If you're a mosquito magnet who runs hot and sweats a lot, you need a different formula than someone who only deals with bugs on the occasional hike. We match you based on the signals that actually matter to mosquitoes.

The science behind your bite profile

Mosquitoes don't bite randomly. Female mosquitoes (they're the ones that bite) use a sophisticated detection system that starts working from up to 50 metres away.

CO₂ output

Detected from 50m away. Larger people and heavier breathers produce more.

Lactic acid

Produced during exercise and sweating. A primary short-range attractant.

Body heat

Mosquitoes have thermal sensors. Higher body temp = easier target.

Skin microbiome

The 400+ bacteria species on your skin create your unique scent profile.

Skin microbiome

The 400+ bacteria species on your skin create your unique scent profile.

When we ask about your sweat, we're estimating lactic acid output. When we ask about your outdoor habits, we're gauging CO₂ exposure windows. Every question in the quiz maps to one of these biological signals.

Our plant actives work by disrupting these signals. Terpenes — the compounds in citronella, lemongrass, and cedarwood — confuse the mosquito's olfactory receptors, making it harder for them to lock on to you. Different terpene combinations work better for different attraction profiles, which is why personalisation matters.

What goes in (and what doesn't)

Plant-powered

Every active ingredient comes from plants. Citronella, lemongrass, cedarwood, geraniol, thyme — nature's own mosquito defence.

EPA 25(b) exempt

Our formulas use ingredients on the EPA's minimum-risk list. Regulated, but without the heavy chemicals.

No DEET. Ever.

We don't use DEET, picaridin, or synthetic pyrethroids. You shouldn't have to choose between protection and what you put on your skin.

Personalised, not generic

Five distinct formulas, each built for a different bite profile. Because "one spray fits all" has never really worked.

SKEETR workshop with botanical ingredients

Who we are

Every one of us is “the one who always gets bitten.” The friend who comes home covered while everyone else is fine. The person who's tried every spray on the shelf and still wakes up with welts.

We got tired of being told to just spray more. So we started asking better questions — and building better answers.

SKEETR is what happens when you stop accepting that mosquito repellent is one-size-fits-all and start treating it like the personal problem it actually is.

Enough about us. Let's talk about your mosquito problem.

Take our 60-second quiz and find the formula that's built for your body.
