What Makes Noonka's Formula Different?
Noonka blends nootkatone, a naturally derived, EPA-recognized repellent, with carefully selected essential oils for added protection and a scent that's fresh, woodsy, and citrusy.
It's lightweight, alcohol-free, and non-greasy. The two-phase formula means you shake before you spray. We kept it minimal but maximized the actives, because smarter beats more.
It's bug protection you'll actually want to wear. Designed with care, for people (and pups) who live life outdoors.
How do I use Noonka?
Give it a good shake, it's a two-phase formula. Then spray generously on exposed skin or clothing before heading outdoors. Reapply as needed, especially after sweating.
Why the name Noonka?
It’s a playful blend of Nootka, the tree behind nootkatone, and nunca, Spanish for “never.” As in, never getting bit.
How long does Noonka protect you?
Early data from CDC-funded studies show that formulas with Nootkatone provide between 4-6 hours of protection. This duration is based on a 2–3% concentration.
Who can use Noonka?
Designed with families in mind, it's safe for kids, pregnant women, and your pets.
