Picaridin insect repellent, manufactured by Bayer is a German company. Picaridin is the only active ingredient that has been approved by the EPA Environmental Protection Agency as a repellent. Being the newest ingredient and having no known side effects makes Picaridin the preferred choice for many people. Picaridin spray is a non-DEET bug spray used to prevent mosquito bites. It’s great for those who have sensitive skin and can’t tolerate DEET, as well as for people who don’t like the way that DEET smells. Picaridin’s unique odorlessness means it won’t clash with your cologne, perfume or deodorant. Picaridin is a new insect repellent developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research. It is a synthetic compound that has the same family as oil of lemon eucalyptus and other plant-based essential oils. Picaridin was approved for use in the US in 2002, and unlike DEET (a common active ingredient), it doesn’t damage plastics or synthetic fabrics. It can also be used on kids 23 months and older, although you should test an area of skin first as a reaction to any new product that could occur. Studies show that Picaridin lasts about six hours on the skin even after repeated hand washings.
Picaridin Repellent
Picaridin is a chemical compound that is used as an insect repellent. It was originally developed by Bayer Schering Pharma in the late 1990s, but has since been marketed under the names Cutter Advanced, Natrapel and Skin So Soft Bug Guard Plus IR3535. The compound is effective against mosquitoes, ticks and other biting insects.
Picaridin was developed based on piperidine, a chemical used as a solvent in many organic reactions. The compound was first used as a repellent in 2000 when United States Army researchers developed it as a safer alternative to DEET-based products. Picaridin has few side effects and does not irritate skin or eyes like DEET does; however, it may cause eye irritation if sprayed directly into them.
Picaridin is considered safe for use by pregnant women and children over two years old; however, it’s not recommended for infants under two years old because their skin is more sensitive than adults’.
This is a unique Picaridin Mosquito Repellent with a new formula that provides long-lasting protection against mosquitoes. It is an effective mosquito repellent with no skin irritations or allergies, and it will not harm your skin. It is safe to use around children and pregnant women, as well as pets.
This product has been tested by the FDA and is not harmful to humans or animals, so you can use it with confidence. It has been tested to see if there are any negative effects, and none were found. This means that it is safe for you and your family, even if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
