Sawyer Premium Family Insect Repellent 20% DEET, Controlled Release – Pack of 2

Sawyer Premium Family Insect Repellent with 20% DEET — Controlled Release

When outdoor moments turn into bug-filled adventures, this EPA-approved repellent delivers practical protection for families. The 20% DEET formulation is designed for broad coverage against ticks and a wide range of mosquitoes, including species capable of transmitting common illnesses. The product’s controlled-release approach encapsulates DEET in a protein matrix, allowing a slower, steadier release that can extend the experience on skin without frequent reapplication.

How the technology works

The encapsulated DEET is released gradually over time, with claims of protection lasting up to 11 hours per application. This slow-release design helps maintain a consistent shield as you move through different environments—whether strolling a trail, camping, or enjoying a backyard gathering. In practice, the formula is engineered to balance strong repellency with a lighter skin feel, reducing the sensation of heavy residue while you stay active.

• 20% DEET provides broad mosquito and tick deterrence.
• Encapsulation slows DEET release for extended effectiveness—up to 11 hours per use.
• Odorless, non-greasy lotion that resists sweat, with compatibility for sunscreen use.
• EPA-approved formula designed for family-friendly applications.
• Can be combined with Sawyer Permethrin Insect Repellent for clothing, gear, and tents.

Feel and versatility in real life

The lotion-like texture feels comfortable on skin, even on hot days, and remains pleasant during outdoor activity. It pairs well with Sawyer SPF 30 Stay-Put Sunscreen, enabling a two-layer approach to sun and insect defense. In backyards, on hiking trails, or during campouts, the product offers a practical option for keeping space pleasant and bite-free without heavy scents or greasy residue.

• Odorless and non-greasy feel for comfortable, everyday wear.
• Sweat resistance supports longer wear during physical activity.
• Designed to work well alongside sunscreen for a two-step outdoor routine.
• Compatible with Sawyer Permethrin for clothing, gear, and tents to extend protection beyond skin contact.

Pack, use, and care

This offer includes a twin-pack of convenient 4-ounce lotion bottles, making it easy to share with family members or keep a bottle in multiple bags for trips. Always follow label directions, apply evenly to exposed skin, avoid contact with eyes, and reapply as needed based on activity and conditions. While the data highlights extended release and reduced peak exposure, individual results can vary with climate, exertion, and spray coverage.
