Ultrathon Insect Repellent offers up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and other insects, and is splash and sweat resistant.
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 contains 34.34% DEET in a polymer base; it is identical to the repellent used by the U.S. military.
