Sun protection that keeps the critters away:

  • UVA/UVB Broad-Spectrum SPF 50+ Protection
  • DEET insect repellent for mosquitoes and flies
  • 4 hours water resistant
Sun protection and bug repellent in one tube. Outbacker is an SPF 50+ sunscreen lotion with DEET-based insect repellent, so you're not juggling a sunscreen in one hand and a bug spray in the other.

Repels mosquitoes and flies for up to 2 hours. Water resistant sun protection for up to 4 hours. One application, one product, and you're out the door

4-Methylbenzildene Camphor 40mg/g, Bemotrizinole 10mg/g, Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) 50mg/g, Octocrylene 20mg/g. Active constituents (insect repellents)

Does it feel sticky or greasy?

No. It's a lotion, rub it in and try to tell where it went.

Does it have a strong smell?

There's a slight scent from the DEET; that's the repellent doing its job. It fades once it dries down.

Can I use it on my face?

Yes, just avoid the eye area. Apply to your hands first, then spread onto your face rather than applying directly from the tube.

Do I need to reapply more often than regular sunscreen?

The sun protection is water resistant for up to 4 hours, but the insect repellent lasts around 2 hours. If the bugs are the bigger problem, reapply at the 2-hour mark. Either way, reapply after swimming or towelling off.

Is it okay for children?

This product contains DEET, so check the label for age guidelines. For kids who just need sun protection without the repellent, our Kinder sunscreen is the better option.

Can I just use bug spray over a regular sunscreen?

You can, but layering bug spray over sunscreen can reduce SPF effectiveness. A combined formula is designed so one doesn't undermine the other.

What insects does it repel?

Mosquitoes and flies. DEET is the most widely tested repellent recommended by Australian health authorities.

Is this only for camping and hiking?

It works anywhere the sun and the bugs turn up at the same time: fishing, barbecues, sports, gardening, work sites.
