The #1 feature of any bug spray is that is WORKS! That’s why at Zone Protects, we use PICARIDIN in our insect repellent products to keep you protected and safe while also warding off unwanted insects, bites, and any potential diseases they may carry.

NATURAL DERIVATIVE...but

Picaridin is derived from the Black Pepper Plant...BUT...it is NOT an all-natural ingredient. It is a synthetic.

This means Picaridin is registered and approved by the EPA as a safe and EFFECTIVE insect repellent.

When Zone Protects makes our safety and effectivenss claims, we have to prove it to the EPA. Those "all-natural" products don't have to do that, so beware.

UNIQUE "MASKING" EFFECT

One of the most unique aspects of PICARIDIN is that it "masks" our skin. Picaridin creates a very thin, invisible and UNSCENTED layer on our skin that masks us from the bugs that want to bite us. When the blood-sucking insects don't know we are a food source, they leave us alone.

Technically, picaridin is not a repellent in that it doesn't work by how it smells...it simply makes us invisible to the bugs.

EPA REGISTERED

Naturally-derived ingredient Picaridin is a natural ingredient that is EPA registered, so you know that it’s safe to use without harming our environment. Because we care about creating ethical products that our customers can trust in and rely on, we make sure to use ingredients, like picaridin, which are cleared as environmentally-friendly products. Those “all-natural repellents” do not have to register with the EPA and can claim whatever they want without any data choose wisely
and choose Picaridin.

How It Works

Picaridin works with your body’s chemistry by masking your natural human scent. This means that bugs may see you but cannot smell you and certainly do not consider you a food-source. This is why Picaridin is naturally odor-free. Other products such as DEET and natural oils work by their intense odor which drives bugs away. However, that means that us as people also have to endure the strong, nasty chemical smell. Choose Picaridin and drop the DEET.
