The insect repellent category is changing

Consumers and retailers increasingly look for effective solutions that combine performance, lower-toxicity positioning and long-term regulatory confidence.

Natural and eco-aware demand

A significant consumer shift toward natural insect repellents, driven by health and environmental concerns associated with chemical-based products. Ingredients like citronella and IR3535 are gaining consumer preference.

Demand for lower-tox actives

The personal care market increasingly favors cleaner-label formulations that avoid synthetic chemicals. Consumers and retailers actively seek DEET-free repellents with a more skin-friendly, family-safe profile.

Stricter regulatory direction

Regulatory developments under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR) are raising compliance standards. Future-proof actives with strong, current registration are becoming a competitive advantage on shelf.

better active ingredient.

ClearliQ Anti-Insect is designed around IR3535 as a more family-friendly and future-oriented active. IR3535 has been used for over 40 years, is classified as a biopesticide, and holds a strong safety and regulatory profile.

Your questions answered

What is IR3535?

IR3535 is an active insect-repellent molecule developed by Merck. It is classified as a biopesticide and has been in use for over 40 years. It is recognized for its strong safety profile: it does not stimulate allergic reactions or skin irritation, is completely biodegradable, and is not toxic to aquatic organisms.

Why is ClearliQ positioned as an alternative to many DEET-based products?

The market is shifting toward lower-toxicity and more family-friendly actives. Many conventional repellents are still based on DEET or Icaridin. ClearliQ was developed around IR3535 as a more future-oriented, lower-tox active that aligns with growing consumer demand for safer-feeling solutions and evolving regulatory direction.

Which ClearliQ repellent is right for my family?

For babies from 6 months: Anti-Insect Baby (6h). For all family members from 12 months: Anti-Insect Family (8h). For travel and tropical destinations from 6 years: Anti-Insect Tropical (7h). For outdoor sun moments: Protect Solar Spray offers SPF50 sunscreen with organic citronella.

What is the difference between Baby, Family and Tropical?

Baby is formulated for the youngest family members from 6 months, with the most gentle approach. Family is the core all-round SKU from 12 months, offering the longest protection duration of 8 hours. Tropical is designed for higher-exposure environments and travel destinations, suitable from 6 years, offering 7 hours of protection against tropical mosquitoes.

How long does protection last?

Protection duration depends on the product. Anti-Insect Baby: up to 6 hours (10% IR3535). Anti-Insect Family: up to 8 hours (20% IR3535). Anti-Insect Tropical: up to 7 hours. Reapplication may be needed after swimming or heavy perspiration. The Protect Solar Spray contains organic citronella, an ingredient well known for its insect-repellent properties, combined with SPF50 sun protection.

Is there a product for after-bite care?

Yes, the ClearliQ After-Bite Pen is a hygienic, handy pen-format applicator that soothes the skin after insect bites and stings. It nourishes and comforts the skin and is suitable from the age of 2.

Is there also a sunscreen option?

Yes. The Protect Solar Spray offers SPF50 sunscreen combined with organic citronella. The Protect Aftersun with Citronella is a complementary after-sun concept that hydrates, refreshes and repairs the skin after sun exposure.

Why are lower-toxicity actives becoming more relevant?

Regulatory developments, particularly under the EU Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR), are raising standards for safety data and compliance. Consumer demand for natural, eco-friendlier and lower-tox formulations is also accelerating. ClearliQ Anti-Insect is developed in line with these trends, with IR3535 formulas that hold valid BPR registrations.
