Why choose Saltidin^®?

saltidin.^®insect repellents provide gentle and effective protection

saltidin.^®(Picaridin) is a relatively new active ingredient designed to repel insects and ticks. It was developed in 1985 as an alternative to diethyltoluamide (DEET), highly effective while gentle on the skin.

Icaridin (the internatinal non-proprietary name of the active ingredient) is a piperidine derivative, and an almost odorless and colorless liquid. Saltigo, a LANXESS subsidiary, markets the active ingredient worldwide under the trade name Saltidin^®, with decades of proven expertise in large-scale production. Repellent packaging will say Saltidin^®或icaridin，在讲英语国家，皮卡里顿和西班牙语国家，icaridina或picaridina。

驱虫剂减轻传染病的风险

Nearly everyone, wherever they live in the world, is exposed to the risk of contracting an insect-borne disease. Every year, theWHO纪录超过2亿例疟疾和近1亿日耳热发烧感染。以这种方式传播的危险疾病还包括莱姆病，初夏脑膜炎，西尼罗河热和黄热病。各种蚊虫种类还传播淋巴丝体，Zika病毒和Chikungunya病毒疾病等疾病。

Blood-sucking insects as carriers of disease are starting to pose an increasing risk in temperate regions too. Institutions such as theRobert Koch Institute（RKI）¹in Germany are monitoring this development closely. Globalization, travel, and climate change create favorable conditions for invasive species. One of these is the Asian tiger mosquito, which can transmit several diseases.

A range of measures can be used to counteract these carriers. One of the most important measures for personal protection is the use of insect repellents. Ideally, they should be effective but gentle enough to be suitable for sensitive skin. Icaridin is one of the active ingredients recommended by numerous organizations, including the US疾病控制中心and the德国热带医学学会^1,Travel Medicine and Global Health¹recommend the use of Icaridin.
