Description
Icaridin: A Highly Effective Insect Repellent!
Icaridin is a highly effective solution for repelling insects, ensuring comfort and protection during outdoor activities. Icaridin, also known as Hydroxyethyl Isobutyl Piperidine Carboxylate, is a widely used active ingredient in topical insect repellents. It is an odourless and nearly colourless liquid, recognized for its effectiveness in repelling various insects, including mosquitoes, ticks, and black flies.
How Icaridin Works
Icaridin functions similarly to DEET by interfering with an insect’s ability to detect human scent. This mechanism effectively reduces the likelihood of insect bites, providing long-lasting protection in outdoor environments.
