nDefense

nDefense uses icaridin encapsulated in polymeric nanoparticles. Icaridin, also called picaridin, acts as a powerful insect repellent. The World Health Organization and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommend its use on skin, clothing, and surfaces. It protects against bites from mosquitoes, sandflies, ticks, flies, mites, and fleas. The technology suits insect repellent sprays and lotions.
