Fend Insect Repellent: The Family-Safe Must-Have for an Australian Summer
As the warmer months arrive, Australians are gearing up for outdoor adventures - from camping trips and backyard barbecues to beach holidays and picnics. Alongside sunscreen and hats, there’s another essential every family should pack this spring and summer: Fend Insect Repellent.
Backed by innovative science and designed with family safety in mind, Fend is clinically proven to provide up to 14 hours of protection from mozzies. It can also deter ticks, midges, wasps, and sandflies - ensuring families can enjoy the outdoors without the worry of bites.
Science Meets Safety
What sets Fend apart is its exclusive STAYTEC™ technology, a controlled-release system that slows absorption and evaporation. This ensures insect-fighting ingredients stay active longer, working effectively on the skin’s surface without being absorbed into the bloodstream. The result? Long-lasting protection with less irritation risk.
Unlike many repellents, Fend is also safe for some of the most sensitive groups. It can be used on babies as young as two months old, as well as pregnant and breastfeeding women. Parents can apply it with confidence knowing they’re protecting their whole family.
Outdoor Adventure Ready
Designed for convenience and reliability, Fend Roll-On is travel-friendly, compact, and easy to use. Its roll-on application avoids the challenges of sprays in windy conditions, making it particularly handy for kids on the move. With its lightweight, non-greasy texture and pleasant scent, it applies like a moisturiser and leaves no sticky residue.
For families heading overseas to tropical destinations like Bali, Fend provides added peace of mind against persistent mosquitoes. Its hypoallergenic formula makes it suitable for everyday use, whether for backyard playtime or long days outdoors.
Award-Winning Innovation
Fend’s commitment to safety and performance hasn’t gone unnoticed. In 2025, it was recognised at the Bounty Baby Awards, taking home the title of Best Travel Product. This accolade reinforces its reputation as an outdoor essential, particularly for families.
Where to Buy
Fend is available nationwide through select pharmacies and Chemist Warehouse Online, as well as directly from fend.au. The 50ml Kids Roll-On retails at $19.95, offering affordable protection that lasts all day.
As Australians embrace the outdoors this season, Fend is proving itself the must-have addition to every picnic basket, daypack, baby bag and holiday bag - combining cutting-edge science with family-first safety.
