Autan® Tropical Dry Spray is a highly effective mosquito repellent. It effectively repels tropical mosquitoes and tiger mosquitoes for up to 8 hours, protecting against mosquitoes that can carry disease-causing pathogens. The spray contains 25% DEET. This active ingredient is considered the gold standard for insect repellents and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) for protection against mosquito and tick bites, especially in tropical regions. Autan Tropical Dry Spray is easy to apply to the skin and dries quickly thanks to its innovative formula with cornstarch. The convenient 100ml size makes it ideal for travel and carrying in hand luggage. Mosquitoes are attracted to body odors such as sweat or carbon dioxide (from exhaled breath). By spraying mosquito repellent onto the skin, the insects' olfactory receptors are blocked, preventing them from detecting human scents and thus deterring them from landing and biting. For effective protection, the product should be rubbed thoroughly into the skin. It can also be used in combination with sunscreen and other skincare products. However, it is important that the insect repellent is applied to the skin last.
