Good Riddance

I’m Jeannie, and I created Good Riddance for my family while living in Darwin on our travels around Australia.

Living in Darwin, my two young boys were constantly eaten alive by mozzies, so applying repellent was a daily must. 

I decided to ditch the DEET after being shocked by the WARNING label on my repellent and started my search for a safer option.

But, I was let down by every natural repellent as theysimply didn’t work for us in the tropics.

Determined to do something about it, I spent 2 years studying cosmetic chemistry & aromatherapy.

In 2011, I completed a Diploma in Personal Care Formulation and started to create a safe and effective repellent.

I spent 2 years trialing my formulas with local fishermen in the most mozzie and midge-prone areas of the Top End, including Kakadu.

My husband Sean and I launched Good Riddance Insect Repellents at the Mindil Beach Sunset Markets in Darwinin 2014.

Our sales quickly grew through word of mouth. We built an online store, scaled up our manufacturing capacity and now have over 900 stockists around Australia.

Our two natural insect repellents provide long lasting protection, smell amazing, and feel nice on your skin,even in the tropics.
