Why pharmacists picked this
A good first choice when you need bug protection for a baby over 6 months. Canadian health experts name icaridin as the preferred repellent for kids, and unlike DEET there's no once-a-day limit for little ones, so you can reapply on long days outside. It is also gentler on the skin than DEET and the entire family can use it.
