I am right now in Santa Marta Colombia, in a super-tropical beachfront hostel. This product is saving me from the tons of mosquitoes flying around me, but not landing on my skin. Well, maybe a couple landed in my hands, since I washed them to have some food, but the rest of the body is protected.
I also like that this presentation is flight approved.
Thanks, and need more of this stuff, please!

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Picaridin as Effective as DEET?
Picaridin is the perfect balance of efficacy, safety, and user-friendliness. It repels a wide variety of pests including mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, sand flies, gnats, chiggers, and midges.
One of the longest lasting repellents available, it provides up to 14 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks (using the lotion; up to 12 hours for spray models), and up to 8 hours against a variety of flies, chiggers, and gnats.
Is Picaridin Safe for the Whole Family?
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the active ingredient Icaridin (which is how Picaridin is known around the world) as the product of choice for malaria prophylaxis.*
Icaridin is recommended by the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Canadian Advisory Committee on Tropical Medicine and Travel for travelers six months to 12 years of age.**
Available as Lotion and Spray
- Non-greasy, Fragrence Free, Odorless
- Picaridin won't damage plastics or synthetic coatings
- Lotion lasts up to 14 hours
- Spray lasts up to 12 hours
- Available as a spray pump in 4-ounce, 3-ounce, plus 6-ounce continuous spray
- Also available in institutional-sized lotion pump dispensers
Should I Use a Lotion or Spray Repellent?
Lotions last longer than sprays. Sprays have the advantage of being able to be applied to clothing where it remains effective longer than on skin. Since repellents work as a 3 inch barrier, clothing applications can often protect 6 inches away from exposed skin, reducing your usage on skin. For optimal protection Sawyer recommends lotion on the skin and spray on the clothing.

Must Buy! This stuff really works!!!
I usually don’t write reviews but I just had to for this OUTSTANDING!!! Product! I purchased the deet free two pack lotion that lasts up to 2hrs...in the white & blue packaging.... this stuff is stupendous!!! As soon as I rubbed it on standing in the grass...my exposed arms went from itching in the grass..to suddenly NOT itching..I put it on my 6 month old sons legs and my 8yr old daughters exposed legs too..,later today after my shower... I went outside for some personal relaxation in my backyard (which is surrounded by trees,bushes, and grass etc) & I rubbed the mosquito repellent lotion on all my exposed body parts...as I sat in the backyard this evening to enjoy some cool summer air...I rubbed it on my feet, legs,thighs,arms,chest,upper back,neck...& I was NOT bit once! For years I avoided sitting outside because I hate getting bitten by mosquitoes...but NOT anymore!!! I am so HAPPY & excited by this stuff!! Go buy it now!!! You won’t be sorry I promise. I’m ready to enjoy the rest of my summer and early fall outside using this wonderful stuff! ....I just wish the lotion bottles were larger... Also I enjoy the feel of the lotion...& the smell isn’t bad at all...it smells a little like mosquito protectant...but it’s not annoying....MUST BUY! IT REALLY WORKS!
