In response to consumer demand for a DEET-free repellent that’s as effective as DEET, Tender Corp. has developed the NEW Natrapel® 8 hour. Containing 20% of the active ingredient Picaridin, Natrapel® 8 hour offers families up to eight hours of protection from mosquitoes, black flies, ticks and other biting insects. In head-to-head studies, the new Natrapel® 8 hour equaled the level of protection or bettered that of medium-DEET products with the same concentration level for a majority of the most common biting insects, including disease carrying mosquitoes (which are responsible for the spread of West Nile Virus) and ticks (which are responsible for the spread of Lyme Disease). Unlike DEET-based products, The New Natrapel® 8 hour is non-oily, nongreasy and offers a mild scent rather than the heavy repellent smell that consumers have had to put up with if they wanted to stay protected. Safe for the whole family, Natrapel® 8 hour is equally well suited for the backyard and the backcountry. Hunters, anglers and hikers can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Natrapel®’s as effective as DEET formula won’t ruin fishing line or sunglasses, should they inadvertently happen to spray some on these or any other plastics. Natrapel® 8 hour Fact Sheet 1. Natrapel® 8 hour contains 20% of the active ingredient Picaridin. Also known as KBR3023, it has been in worldwide use since 1998 and is one of the best selling active ingredients in repellents sold in Europe and Australia. 2. In 2000, the World Health Organization proclaimed that, due to its safety and effectiveness, Picaridin was their recommended product for repelling Malaria-carrying mosquitoes. They noted that under some circumstances it was even more effective than DEET. 3. In 2005, the CDC recognized Picaridin as one of only three active ingredients (the others are DEET and Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus) that effectively repel mosquitoes. The CDC went on to conclude “evidence indicates that [Picaridin] works very well [at repelling insects], comparable to DEET products of similar concentration.” 4. Mild smelling and non-greasy, Picaridin is gentle on sensitive skin. 5. According to 1200 Habit & Attitude Studies Tender Corp. conducted in 2007, 89% of participants noted concerns about using DEET. Key concerns included: 1) fear that ingredients are absorbed into bloodstream – 52.4% 2) DEET causes brain damage – 16.3% 3) Using it causes Cancer – 35.6% 4) It’s harsh on skin – 22.5% 5) Smell – 23.4% 6) Feel on skin – 14.3% 7) Don’t know - 0.1% 6. Natrapel 8 hour’s Picaridin-based formula won’t ruin fishing line, camera lenses or other important plastics like DEET can.
