## Overview

Sawyer Ultra 30% DEET Insect Repellent Lotion combines advanced liposome technology with a potent 30% DEET formula to provide up to 11 hours of odorless, non-greasy, and sweat-proof protection against a broad spectrum of biting insects. Packaged in airline-approved twin 3-ounce bottles, it’s designed for the modern adventurer seeking reliable, skin-friendly defense from backcountry trails to urban backyards.

## Description

The non-greasy, odorless Ultra 30 Insect Repellent Lotion from Sawyer combines 30 percent DEET with a comfortable liposome base for up to 11 hours of protection against mosquitoes, ticks, flies, chiggers, fleas, and no-see-ums. It's comfortable for use in the backcountry or in the backyard. Similar to the earlier generation of polymer-based controlled release systems, the Liposome envelops the active ingredient, DEET, and slowly time-releases it as needed, thereby extending the effectiveness of the repellent. Unlike polymers, however, liposomes are a natural compound more often used in cosmetics, which allows this formula to be comfortable to the skin, easier to wear, and practically odorless. Sawyer Ultra 30 is also non-staining, compatible with sunscreens, and sweat proof. It's available in an airline-friendly 3-ounce bottle, as well as a 4-ounce bottle. Since 1984, Sawyer has used technological advancements to create products that keep you outdoors — from the backcountry to the backyard — including insect repellents for both skin and clothing, water filters for camping and emergencies, and sun protection.

Review: Scentless MAGIC - Just returned from our trip to Bali in December (rainy season) and was so glad to have brought this repellant. Mosquitos love me so much it is a common joke that I will attract them enough to act as a repellant for anyone in a wide radius nearby. Really wish I had known of this product when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar getting eaten alive daily....It was a struggle. Anyways, this product not only moisturizes the skin like a lotion, but had barely a hint of that god awful mosquito repellent smell, AND kept my skin free of bites. I was actually able to enjoy my trip. It was a miracle. Downside is that the bottle does leak...I put ours in a plastic baggy to capture the leakage/prevent mess. It's also not the cheapest product on the market, but I would say it's well worth it unless a competitor comes in with better pricing.
Review: Keeps the mosquitoes away. - This product is very effective against mosquitoes and small insects, they won't touch me while I'm wearing it. It goes on smoothly, dries quickly, and the odor goes away within 5mins or so. I even put it in my hair before hiking and it doesn't make my hair look greasy. However, it does not help with these large biting flies that we have around here, they seem completely unfazed by it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scentless MAGIC
*by T***Y on February 8, 2020*

Just returned from our trip to Bali in December (rainy season) and was so glad to have brought this repellant. Mosquitos love me so much it is a common joke that I will attract them enough to act as a repellant for anyone in a wide radius nearby. Really wish I had known of this product when I was a Peace Corps Volunteer in Madagascar getting eaten alive daily....It was a struggle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really good stuff
*by A***S on June 12, 2019*

I will not mince words and say this is a VERY good product. I slathered this stuff on me before going out fishing in upper Wisconsin. A fun fact is that upper Wisconsin are some big, nasty, aggressive bugs. Musketos, biting flys, nats, ticks, etc. I have seen them ignore other bugsprays and do the backstroke in a puddle of others, before shaking off and flying away. Now before I slathered this stuff on, my whole body was being attacked by dozens upon dozens of these things. Once I was done applying the lotion, threw on a shirt and hat, and magically no more bugs. The nats dissapeared, and the musketos were hanging back a few feet. I could see them probing for missed spots in the application, and when they found on, I just put on a little more, and boom, I was completely protected. We went out fishing for I would say 4 some hours. After heavy sun, some sweating, wiping, and we were still protected. Got back to the camper, and did some cleanup, tree cutting and the like, and was still good. I knocked off 1 star, for while it it appears the stuff is sweat resistant, it is neither water resistant or proof. I had to jump off the boat to drag it into shore. When we got to the camper and I sat for a moment. I was swarmed by the blood sucking monsters from where my legs were in the water. I had to reapply in that area to be protected again. The smell while noticable, was 80% or less of what bug spray smells like. It goes on oily, but after a few min, it absorbs and does not leave anything resembling a greasy feeling. Before you ask, hell yes I am going to buy more for fishing, or arround the yard work, or hiking. Just dont get the stuff wet. I recommendation to the manufacturer, if you can figure out a way to make it water resistant without any negative effects, this would be an amazing product.
