Sawyer Controlled Release Repellent

Odorless, non-greasy, and sweat resistant, Sawyer’s Controlled Release insect repellent provides effective defense against ticks and all mosquitoes. This family friendly lotion protects adults and kids up to 11 hours, whether you are in the backcountry or in the backyard.

Encapsulating its EPA-approved 20% DEET formula in a protein that dissolves slowly, Controlled Release lotion releases DEET over a longer period of time — reducing the rate of DEET absorption by 67% per application and extending the duration of its effectiveness.

Maximize protection from mosquitoes and ticks by combining Controlled Release topical repellent with Sawyer’s Permethrin insect repellent for clothing and gear to create an effective insect barrier.
