What is Icaridin?
- Icaridin is a synthetic compound designed to resemble the natural compound piperine. The alkaloid piperine is found in the plant group from which black pepper is derived.6 Icaridin is widely used as an insect repellent in Europe, Australia and the USA.6
- The active ingredient Icaridin is also known internationally under the trade names Saltidin and Picaridin.
Why should you use Moskito Guard®?
- The active ingredient icaridin is a scientifically proven, effective alternative to DEET.1,7 In many cases, icaridin is better tolerated.7
- To prevent insect bites, the WHO recommends insect repellents containing either 20% DEET or ICARIDIN.8
- There are only a few insect repellents based on Icaridin available on the Austrian market.
- This product is distributed in Austria by VALNEVA, a vaccine manufacturer and expert in travel medicine.

What are the benefits of Icaridin and Moskito Guard®?
- We hear a lot about DEET. Everyone recommends it. Many people use it. Is a DEET-based product really the product of choice, or do we simply not know the alternatives to DEET?
- Have you ever heard of an insect repellent that has a pleasant scent, is non-greasy and contains NO DEET or alcohol? Moskito Guard® with 20% icaridin is definitely an effective alternative, which also offers a number of other benefits.
