Why is Skin So Soft effective
EPA and CDC Approved - Both Picaridin and IR3535, the active ingredients in the Bug Guard Plus Picaridin and Bug Guard Plus IR3535 lines, are approved by both the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).CDC evaluation of information contained in peer-reviewed scientific literature and data available from EPA has identified several EPA registered products that provide repellent activity sufficient to help people avoid the bites of disease carrying mosquitoes. Products containing these active ingredients typically provide reasonably long-lasting protection:
Picaridin - is a colorless, nearly odorless liquid that is used as an bug repellant against biting flies, mosquitoes, chiggers, and ticks. Picaridin products were sold in Europe and Australia for several years before being introduced to the U.S. market in 2005. Picaridin has low acute oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity.
IR3535 - characterized by the EPA as a biopesticide, it is used as an insect repellent against mosquitoes, deer ticks, body lice, and biting flies. This biopesticide was registered as an active ingredient in 1999. Before it was registered with EPA, IR3535 had been used as an insect repellent in Europe for 20 years with no substantial adverse effects. Toxicity tests show that the IR3535 is not harmful when ingested, inhaled, or used on skin.
