Sawyer SP564 20% Picaridin Insect Repellent Lotion 4oz

Sawyer SP564 Picaridin Lotion

Sawyer SP564 is a 4 oz lotion formulated with 20% Picaridin for topical insect and tick protection. The fragrance-free, non-greasy formula dries quickly and is safe for use by the whole family during outdoor activities. It provides up to 12 hours of defense against mosquitoes and ticks and up to 8 hours against flies, gnats, and chiggers. The product carries a 900-day shelf life and a California Proposition 65 warning.

Non-Greasy Formula and Material Safety

The lotion applies without leaving a greasy residue and dries rapidly on skin. It is odorless and will not damage plastics, synthetic coatings, or finishes on gear such as watches, sunglasses, fishing line, and firearm surfaces. The 4 fl oz container measures 3 by 3 by 5 inches and weighs .3 pounds, making it compact for packing. A double seal ensures product integrity until first use.

20% Picaridin Concentration Determines Duration

The active ingredient concentration of 20% Picaridin drives the repellent's effective duration against specific pests. This concentration is noted as more effective against biting flies than DEET and repels disease-carrying ticks and mosquitoes. Buyers needing protection beyond 12 hours for mosquitoes or ticks, or those requiring a different active ingredient, should consider alternative formulations. The lotion pairs with permethrin-treated clothing for extended coverage.
