What is the difference between Icaridin and DEET for mosquito protection?

Icaridin is a latest-generation repellent active ingredient recommended by the WHO. It offers effectiveness equivalent to DEET against tiger mosquitoes and ticks, but is much gentler on the skin, does not damage plastics, and is suitable for sensitive skin starting at 12 months of age.

Can Apaisyl Sensitive Skin Repellent be used with sunscreen?

Yes. In this case, always apply the sunscreen first, wait about 20 minutes for it to be fully absorbed into the skin, then apply the Apaisyl mosquito repellent emulsion on top.

Does the Apaisyl Sensitive Skin spray protect against the tiger mosquito?

Absolutely. The Icaridin-based formula is highly effective at repelling the tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), a potential vector for viruses such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.
