Smidge insect repellent offers strong, reliable protection against midges, mosquitoes, ticks, and other biting insects for up to 8 hours.
Its active ingredient, 20% Saltidin (also known as Picaridin), is recognised as a safe and effective alternative to DEET, providing powerful defence without the harsh chemical smell or sticky feeling. Smidge's formula is water- and sweat-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor activities in varying weather conditions, including rain. It is safe for use on adults, children over 30 months, and pregnant women, ensuring broad usability. The repellent feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin, with a subtle, pleasant fragrance that does not overwhelm. Recommended by outdoor experts and endorsed by the World Health Organisation, Smidge is trusted in midge-prone areas like the Scottish Highlands, making it a top choice for anyone seeking effective, skin-friendly insect protection during outdoor adventures.
