Hedgewitch icaridin is a human insect repellent that provides an effective alternative to DEET. It contains Icaridin at 20%, judged to be as effective as 50% DEET by the World Health Organisation. It is one of just three active ingredients recommended for use in malarial regions and can help protect against other nasty diseases carried by insects.

Its key strength is to provide protection from biting flies such as mosquitoes, midges, horseflies, sand flies, fleas, and ticks. Suitable for use on children over 2-years and sensitive skin.

Hedgewitch icaridin contains no added fragrances, so you don’t have to smell like a perfumery to keep insects at bay. It works by confusing biting insects’ ability to accurately locate you so they aren’t able to land. Good coverage is essential for the best protection from bites and we recommend using with our adjustable trigger spray, adjusted to mist, for best results.

Perfect for a quick spritz before any summer outdoor activities e.g. walking, gardening fishing, or for an evening BBQ to keep biting midges away. Icaridin is also perfect to take on your holidays for protection against mosquitoes.

Summary info

How it works: Icaridin is nature-modelled, a copy of piperidin which occurs naturally in black pepper plants. The way icaridin works really is magic, it makes you almost invisible to biting insects. Even though they may still buzz around, they have trouble locating you accurately enough to land.

Less packaging waste: The bottle is supplied with a plastic top, all fully recyclable.

It contains Icaridin at 20%, judged to be as effective as 50% DEET (and you can't buy it that strong) by the World Health Organisation. It is one of just three products recommended for use in malarial regions and can help protect against other nasty diseases carried by insects.

My chestnut was not allergic to it

My chestnut was not allergic to it. And she is to many products. A big plus. It was effective for about 4 hours. Had to reapply.

Thank you for your feedback and for trying our produt. Now we're out of the heatwave, you should get a longer protection time but it does vary depending on the attractiveness of the individual

Icaridin Insect Repellent works!

I have tried many insect repellents in the past, but can honestly say that Icaridin insect repellent from Hedgewitch is the best I have come across. I have a three year old horse with sweet itch, and it allows me to keep him without a fly rug on, even when it is really hot and the horse flies and midges are bad.
