Repel Bite is a brand dedicated to the development and marketing of insect repellent products to prevent, for example, the bite of the common mosquito and the tiger mosquito. It belongs to the Esteve pharmaceutical group. The company offers a whole range of solutions in sprays, patches and bracelets to prevent bites for any time, need, situation or family member. Esteve is a chemical-pharmaceutical group that is currently the absolute leader in its sector. It has more than 2,400 professionals who work every day at the service of the well-being and health of society. Its three main activities cover the entire drug chain. The chemical activity is the part in which active ingredients are developed and marketed in the broad sector of the international pharmaceutical industry. On the other hand, one of the pillars on which the group was founded is its spirit of constant research to produce the best and most innovative medicines.
For the company, the human health of everyone is the ultimate goal to be achieved, which is why it also specialises in the distribution and production of generic medicines, facilitating access for everyone to each and every treatment. Its slogan "innovate to live better" has accompanied them since 1929, when Antoni Esteve founded what was to be the foundation stone of this company: a small pharmacy in Manresa, Barcelona. With the passage of time and thanks to the trust of customers and professionals, Esteve has become a benchmark in the international pharmaceutical field and a leader in the field of health. Its commitment to research and constant strategic alliances with other companies has enabled it to achieve and consolidate its prestige in the chemical-pharmaceutical sector. They have defined themselves as a Life-Long Learning Organisation where human capital is at the centre of their management and development model.
Repel Bite offers a whole range of products to protect the whole family from annoying and unpleasant insect bites. The catalogue includes a line of repellents with 7 different models that cover the needs of both children and adults, for any specific situation and even in the most extreme conditions. On the one hand, there are citronella scented bracelets for both children and adults, whose scent will keep mosquitoes away. The Repel Bite Kids spray for babies over one year old protects their delicate skin and creates a protective barrier that repels mosquitoes for hours. Repel Bite Xtreme for adults and children over the age of two provides protection for 6-8 hours.
Protects even in the most severe weather and environmental conditions in areas with a high risk of disease transmission such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue or Zika. Natural Patches release citronella for 8-12 hours. They are a good choice for more sensitive skin. They stick on clothes or on the pram itself to prevent them from coming into contact with the skin. All Repel Bite products come in a convenient, easily transportable format that is perfect for excursions, travel and tropical areas. Their new and improved formulas not only protect against the common mosquito, but have also been adapted to deal with the new dangers posed by the increasingly famous tiger mosquito. This type of mosquito is the main transmitter of the Zika virus.
Be careful with mosquito repellents for babies. Not all repellents are suitable for the skin characteristics of the youngest members of the family. For example, most repellents contain chemicals such as DEET and are available in lotions, creams and sprays. Although it is considered the best defence against biting mosquitoes, this component should be avoided as much as possible in children under two years of age, prioritising the use of mosquito nets or other non-chemical methods. Whether for whatever reason, because of their smell or because they are unable to sense their presence and avoid them, babies are often the favourite prey of mosquitoes, so protecting them is essential.
The best thing to do is to use a mosquito repellent made from essential plant oils such as citronella. The only thing to be aware of is that this kind of protection is less long-lasting than chemical repellents and therefore it is important to replace it much more often and more frequently to improve its effectiveness. IR3535-based compounds usually offer a minimum protection of 6 hours depending on the concentration of the product and the species of mosquito it acts on. In this case the toxicity is minimal, so it is suitable for children from one year of age. We do not recommend any type of repellent before the age of two months and, up to the age of two years, only in appropriate concentrations and following the instructions for use.
Buying Repel Bite is easy and convenient through the Farmaciasdirect website, a simple way to purchase protection from home against the bites of the common mosquito and the tiger mosquito from one of the most internationally recognised brands. Repel Bite makes specific products for all members of the family, with skin-friendly formulations and a pleasant scent for the consumer. Protecting yourself from mosquito bites means not only avoiding the annoying itching and irritation that mosquitoes bring with them, but also avoiding the possible spread of diseases such as Zika, malaria or dengue fever.
Although these types of diseases are not common in Spain, the constant expansion and reproduction of the tiger mosquito can cause these problems to spread and be transmitted to European society. Repel Bite also offers innovative products such as its citronella patches that can be stuck directly on clothes or on the baby's pushchair so that the substance does not come into contact with the skin in case it causes any kind of irritation. All Repel Bite products have a good price in the online pharmacy Farmaciasdirect and can be used as many times as required for better effectiveness.
