Grand Tongo Answers the Call: Iconic DEET-Free Repellent Now Available in 3 oz. Nano-Mist Travel Spray and 1 oz. All-New Pocket Sprayer

The Luxury Bug Spray Beloved by Celebrities and Influencers Goes Wherever You Do

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Grand Tongo, the elevated, DEET-free insect repellent redefining protection and personal care, today announced the launch of two highly anticipated new formats: a 3 oz. Nano-Mist Travel Spray, delivering a pillowy-soft, ultra-fine mist, and an all-new 1 oz. Pocket Sprayer, both TSA-friendly and available in the brand's signature scents, including Citrus + Sandalwood, Green Tea + Mint and Fragrance Free.

The launch is a direct response to fan demand. After building a devoted following among consumers, celebrities, and influencers alike who fell in love with the brand's airy, almost-like-water feel and sophisticated vanishing scents, TONGO is making it easier than ever to bring that same luxurious protection on the go.

"Our community has been asking for a travel-friendly option since day one," said Cody Johnson, Founder and CEO of Grand Tongo. "These new formats let you take the TONGO experience wherever life takes you, whether that's a weekend getaway, a music festival or a morning hike."

Formulated with Picaridin,  the most powerful, longest-lasting DEET alternative available, TONGO delivers up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, gnats, chiggers, and more - even sand flies at the beach - and wards off insects that may carry West Nile Virus, Zika, Dengue, Chikungunya, and Lyme disease. Unlike traditional repellents, TONGO's lightweight, water-based formula:

• Ultra-fine mist has superior skin-feel and dries quickly with no sticky or greasy residue
• Features sophisticated vanishing scents that disappear within minutes of application
• Picaridin (active ingredient) is safe for children as young as 2 months (per CDC guidelines)
• Formulas won't damage plastics or gear, unlike DEET

The new travel-size formats are available now on Amazon and QVC and will also be available at Target and Walmart.com, as well as other national retailers, in the coming weeks. SRPs from $4.99 - $9.99. For more information, visit GrandTongo.com.
