“Now in Europe, ICARIDIN is basically used to replace DEET. The United States is the market with the largest use of DEET, but hydroxyphenidate is also selling well in the United States. There is also South America, where Zika was reported a few years ago. The virus spread to Brazil. In the year of the Rio, our product sales were particularly good in South America. The Asia-Pacific region is the fastest growing market, such as Japan, South Korea, China, and Southeast Asia, which are all potential markets for rapid development. Australia , New Zealand also already has a very mature hydroxypiperate product.”

ICARIDIN can be adapted into various formulas, such as liquid, lotion, cream, and customers can also make it into rolling beads, paper, wet wipes… various forms are available. Hydroxyperate is soluble in various organic alcohols, has strong compatibility, is not greasy, and is not irritating to the skin.
“In terms of dosage forms, China prefers mosquito repellent, which is a refreshing and transparent liquid that is relatively humid in summer. However, lotions are more common in Europe and the United States. We can provide customers with some customized technical and instructive formula references based on local characteristics.”
“After all, there are many types of mosquitoes.” Luo Yilin introduced: “The mosquitoes in Southeast Asia are very powerful, many of which are Aedes mosquitoes. Unlike ordinary house mosquitoes and Culex mosquitoes, the gray ones fly very slowly and are easy to kill. The black ones are Striped poisonous mosquitoes, called Aedes mosquitoes, have been introduced to China, and now there are more and more of them. Aedes mosquitoes can spread dengue fever, and dengue fever occurs every year in Guangdong, so mosquito repellent must be done well.”
