General information

Suitable for both tropical destinations (risks of malaria, dengue, yellow fever) and for European countries. The active constituent DEET is effective against stinging insects as well as ticks. DEET is the most effective against (malaria) mosquitoes and gadflies, ticks and bloodsuckers and reasonably effective against large horseflies, nits and midges.
The percentage of DEET is the decisive factor in how long the insect repellent remains active on the skin. DEET is the abbreviation for N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide. The name N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide was recently changed to N,N-diethyl-3-methylbenzamide, but you will come across both names.
Care Plus® Deet is available as 50% Deet lotion, 40% Deet spray and 30% Deet gel. The consumer can choose which form he/she finds most suitable. One container unit is enough for 2 to 3 weeks of daily use in accordance with the instructions. Care Plus® advises a DEET percentage of between 30% and 50%. An insect repellent with a DEET percentage of less than 30% is not effective enough and a percentage above 50% has no extra added value. It is important for the consumer to spread Care Plus® Deet over all unprotected parts of the skin.
