Product Description

Care Plus® Deet Lotion 50% Insect Repellent 50ml

The percentage of DEET determines the duration of the repellent’s effectiveness. DEET is short for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide.

Care Plus® advises a DEET percentage between 30% and 50%. An insect repellent with a DEET percentage under 30% is not sufficiently effective and a percentage over 50% has no added value. It is important to apply Care Plus® Deet to all unprotected areas of skin.

The active ingredient in DEET is effective against both biting insects and ticks. DEET is the most effective against (malaria) mosquitoes and horse flies, effective against ticks and leeches and reasonably effective against black flies and midges.
