Jungle Formula Dry Protect Aerosol, 125 ml 1 Units

Product Information

This is another natural repellent that claims to be effective in malarial zones, but we would recommend using a stronger repellent such as LifeSystems or Jungle Formula on tropical trips. A cream version and repellent-infused wet wipes are also available.

Re-apply as necessary, depending on conditions, as high temperature, humidity and other environmental factors can reduce the duration of protection of all insect repellents. As mentioned, being equipped with the best insect repellents when you set forth in your hiking boots can be vital. Not only can some insects be a nuisance, depending on where you are in the world, they can also give you some pretty nasty illnesses. Mosquito-borne diseases continue to be a scourge across the globe with the Zika virus, dengue and malaria among the most notorious. The overall design of the range of Jungle Formula products has changed, there have been updates to the instructions for use to help you get effective use from the product, and to comply with updates in regulations.We currently have a warning against the use of Jungle Formula products around materials such as synthetics, fabrics, plastics and lacquered surfaces. Unfortunately, we are not able to recommend a specific product to help remove the stain but we would suggest that a regular laundry detergent should help.

The best insect repellents contain active ingredients that the little nasties hate. The most notable is DEET, though this can be irritating for sensitive skin in large doses and can even react with synthetic materials, such as watch straps. Other active ingredients in repellents include Picaridin (also known as Saltidin), which is found in Smidge That Midge, a spray offering good protection from midges. We recommend using a Jungle Formula most suited to your skin sensitivity and where you are travelling to. Jungle Formula Plug In, Kids Bracelet and Bite & Sting Spray can be used with the other Jungle Formula products. Jungle Formula Dry Protect is a DEET free, non-greasy insect repellent aerosol with soothing ingredients and a pleasant fragrance for strong, skin friendly protection, without the greasy feel. A DEET-free alternative is Life Systems’ Expedition Sensitive spray, which uses 20% Saltidin (also known as Picaridin) as an active ingredient instead.

Note that natural repellents are never as effective as stronger ones, and evaporate faster, but are ideal for mild climates or for use on children or people with sensitive skin. Type of application Jungle Formula Dry Protect is ideal for travel in areas with no known risk of malaria or other insect transmitted diseases. It has been specifically formulated for Europe and the UK, having an Insect Repellent Factor (IRF) 3, the aerosol format provides up to 7 hours protection*, whilst the pump spray format provides up to 6 hours protection* from mosquitoes and other biting insects. The good news is, if you want to go DEET-free, there are plenty of hardworking alternatives on the market. The most effective active ingredient for sale as a viable alternative to DEET is Picaridin (also marketed as Icaridin and Saltidin), which isn’t known to cause any skin irritation. It may not be quite as effective as DEET, but it still works at protecting from bites – and isn’t known to have the side effects of DEET.
