Recommended models: Lemon Eucalyptas, Sportsman MAX 40% DEET, REPEL 100
REPEL is also from the United States, specializing in outdoor mosquito protection, and its main products include Lemon Eucalyptas, REPEL 100, Scented Family, and Sportsmen. However, compared to SAWYER, it lacks mild mosquito repellent products.
Lemon Eucalyptas won the third place with a score of 90 in the U.S. Consumer Reports, and its active ingredient is lemon eucalyptus oil, which is the only natural plant ingredient recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to repel mosquitoes, with a concentration of 30% to ensure the effectiveness of Lemon Eucalyptas, which can last up to 6 hours of protection, and has a light lemon flavor. THERE ARE MANY PURCHASE CHANNELS IN CHINA, AND THE PRICE OF 118ML IS ABOUT 88 YUAN. It is still not recommended for children under 3 years of age due to uncertainty about whether children will be affected by the allergenicity of essential oils.
LIKE SAWYER'S MAXI-DEET, REPEL 100 IS ALSO A 98% HIGH-CONCENTRATION DEET MOSQUITO REPELLENT, 118ML COSTS 77 YUAN, AND REPEL 100 HAS A MORE GREASY TEXTURE. When using, it is best to spray it on your hands first and then apply it evenly to your skin. For those who are prone to skin allergies, it is recommended to try a small area before using it. In addition, high concentrations of insect repellent are not recommended for children and pregnant women.
REPEL's daily mosquito repellent still uses DEET as the main ingredient. The DEET content of Scented Family is 15%, which is weak and requires overseas shopping. Users who are afraid of trouble can choose the Sportsman MAX 40%DEET, which is convenient to buy in China, 177ML is priced at around 60 yuan, medium concentration, and can provide 10 hours of ultra-long protection even under extreme conditions of high temperature, sun, sweat and rain. It has a slight rubbery, medicinal smell when sprayed, but there is no sticky feeling on the skin, making it ideal for outdoor activities.
