3M Ultrathon Insect Repellent Lotion offers up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and other insects, and is splash and sweat resistant. It's suitable for ages of 6 months and up.
When traveling to areas of the world where insect-transmitted diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and viral encephalitis are common, proper application of insect repellent is crucial to prevent the possibility of being infected. A DEET-based repellent will offer the best insurance against being bitten. In general, citronella-based repellents would not be predicted to provide adequate protection when traveling to these areas.
Nearly all DEET-based repellents on the market contain the DEET chemical simply mixed in a base of lotion or alcohol. Extended or controlled-released products, such as Ultrathon, package the DEET in a special base that allows it to be released more slowly onto the skin's surface. This provides the benefits of longer-lasting protection without requiring the use of high concentrations of DEET. It also reduces the number of times that re-application of the product is needed. Ultrathon Lotion contains 34.34% DEET, providing effective protection for up to 12 hours against mosquitoes from one application thanks to its advanced 3M Time Release Technology.
Protects against mosquitoes, midges, ticks, fleas, gnats, sand flies and horse flies. Suitable for tropical areas with a risk of diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya fever, dengue fever, West Nile virus, and other insect transmitted diseases.
