NORWALK, Conn., April 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ranger Ready Repellents® won judges over during QVC and HSN’s The Big Find® product search and is scheduled to appear on HSN on Friday, April 16, 2021. Through the second annual international search, which kicked off in July 2020, QVC and HSN discovered some of the most unique and innovative products in apparel, jewelry, accessories, footwear, beauty, and new categories for this year including home décor, home innovations, electronics and culinary including food. Now, these brands will introduce their products to an audience of millions across QVC and HSN’s multiple platforms.
“We invented an insect repellent to apply to skin every day, that is enjoyable to wear, and that will repel mosquitos, ticks, gnats, and other biting insects,” said Chris L. Fuentes, Founder and CEO of Ranger Ready Repellents. “To be featured on HSN for a growing company like Ranger Ready is an ideal opportunity to highlight the benefits of wearing repellents properly. We’re excited to introduce our family-owned business to the HSN audience and encourage them to wear our repellent during all of their outdoor activities,” he said.
Ranger Ready was founded by Chris L. Fuentes and Ted Kesten, who set out to create a better bug spray that will repel mosquitos, ticks and biting insects after their own personal experiences with insect-borne illnesses. The repellent, which uses the active ingredient Picaridin 20%, will be available at an exclusive price point in three of the brand's premium scents: Ranger Orange, which has a light citrus scent; Night Sky, which smells like a classic men's cologne; and Scent Zero, which is completely odorless. The products will be available during the show in April, as well as on HSN.com.
