### Ingredient Introduction ——Permethrin

Permethrin


Permethrin is a synthetic version of pyrethrum, a natural insecticide extracted from chrysanthemums. It is naturally odorless and non - toxic, and is registered for use by the US Environmental Protection Agency. The naturally occurring version decomposes quickly in sunlight, but Sawyer's medical - grade synthetic permethrin can last for 6 weeks or 6 washings, making it an excellent odorless barrier that effectively repels mosquitoes and other insects.




Provides Long - lasting Insect Repellent Effect for Up to 6 Weeks or 6 Washings


Unlike topical insect repellents applied directly to the skin, permethrin can be applied to clothing and other outdoor gear. It bonds to fabric fibers for up to 6 weeks (42 days) or 6 washings without causing any damage. When ticks, mosquitoes, or other insects come into contact with permethrin, they absorb a certain dose, which either repels or kills them. When using it, spray permethrin directly onto clothing and gear in a slow, sweeping motion. Keep the bottle about 6 to 8 inches away and hold it for about 30 seconds on each side of the clothing.
