Lifesystems Insect Repellent is a DEET-free spray powered by Saltidin (Icaridin) that delivers up to 8 to 10 hours of protection against mosquitoes, ticks, midges, and other biting insects, making it a strong choice for families, travelers, and anyone with sensitive skin. Because it skips DEET, it is gentle enough for sensitive skin and safe for children from two years of age, yet still protects across a broad spectrum of biting pests in the field.
Hand-picked by our gear specialists for reliable, skin-friendly bite protection, this insect repellent comes in a durable aluminum pump-spray bottle that resists leaks in a pack. Available in 50 ml and 100 ml sizes, it suits everything from a weekend hike to extended travel, giving you long-lasting coverage without the strong smell and plastic-damaging tendencies associated with DEET.
Who is the Insect Repellent Spray suitable for?
This repellent is aimed at families, sensitive-skin users, and travelers who want dependable bite protection without DEET. Because it is safe for children from age two, it works as a single household repellent for parents and kids alike. Hikers, campers, and anglers benefit from the broad-spectrum coverage against ticks and midges, while travelers value a formula that will not smell harsh or melt plastic gear on the road.
Why is the Insect Repellent Spray DEET-free?
The active ingredient is Saltidin, a brand of Icaridin, which offers protection comparable to DEET while being far gentler on people and gear. DEET is notorious for damaging plastics, synthetic fabrics, and coated surfaces, and it carries a strong odor. Icaridin sidesteps those drawbacks: it is low-odor, kind to sensitive skin, and safe to use around children over two, which makes it a practical everyday choice.
How long does the Insect Repellent Spray last outdoors?
One application provides up to 8 to 10 hours of protection, though the exact duration varies with the bottle size, how heavily you apply it, sweat, and swimming. The aluminum pump-spray bottle lets you cover exposed skin evenly and seals tight so it will not leak among your other kit. Reapply after heavy sweating or water exposure, and choose the 100 ml size when you know you will be out for multiple long days.

How long does the protection last?
It provides up to 8 to 10 hours of protection per application, though the exact time varies with the dose, sweating, and water exposure. For all-day coverage, reapply after heavy perspiration or swimming, and consider the larger 100 ml bottle for extended trips.
What insects does it protect against?
