Its small size means it can be stored almost anywhere, and it has a 3 year shelf life. Safety and comfort in use have been considered too. The formula is PFAS-free and made from non-toxic materials, and it is safe to spray on cloth or skin without irritation. The can is reusable and recyclable, which makes it a more environmentally friendly option than many alternatives.
