Introduction:

Icaridin is a synthetic insect repellent widely used to prevent mosquito bites. Compared to traditional DEET-based repellents, Icaridin is colorless, odorless, non-greasy, and non-corrosive to plastics, synthetic fibers, and sealants. It works by interfering with insects' olfactory perception, reducing their ability to recognize hosts, thus achieving repellent effects.

Main Actions:

Mosquito Repellent: Icaridin has a significant repellent effect on various mosquitoes, including Anopheles mosquitoes (which spread malaria) and Aedes aegypti (which spreads dengue fever). Studies have shown that sprays and creams containing 20% Icaridin provide up to 12 hours of protection.

Repellent for Ticks and Fleas: Icaridin is also effective against ticks and fleas, reducing the risk of disease transmission by these parasites.

Skin and Clothing Application: Icaridin can be directly applied to the skin or sprayed onto clothing for long-lasting protection. Unlike DEET, Icaridin has lower skin irritation potential and does not dissolve plastics and synthetic fibers.

Precautions:

Icaridin is considered relatively safe for humans and the environment, but it is important to follow product label instructions. Avoid applying it to broken or irritated skin and prevent contact with eyes and mouth. After using products containing Icaridin, it is recommended to wash hands to avoid accidental ingestion. Special care should be taken when using it for infants and children, and instructions should be strictly followed.
