The EPA registration process evaluates a proposed product to make sure it will not have harmful effects on people or the environment. Insect Shield repellent is EPA approved for use by the whole family, with no restrictions.
Our chemistry, the application process and the final consumer product have all been rigorously evaluated. Insect Shield Repellent Apparel was registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2003. The EPA accepted an amendment extending the durability claims of our apparel from 25 washes to 70 washes in 2006.
