Care Plus: Serious Protection for the Outdoors
Care Plus is a leader in travel health. When it comes to protecting your family from insects and ticks, Care Plus offers effective, safe solutions approved for use in Canada. Their products allow families to enjoy camping, hiking, and backyard play without the worry of bites.
Why Parents Choose Care Plus
Finding an insect repellent that works but is safe for children can be tough. Care Plus utilizes Icaridin (also known as Picaridin), an active ingredient recommended by the World Health Organization as an effective alternative to DEET.
Brand Highlights
Icaridin Insect Repellent
Unlike DEET, Icaridin is odorless and does not damage plastics or synthetic gear (safe for your sunglasses and swimsuits!). It provides up to 12 hours of protection against mosquitoes and ticks and is gentle on the skin.
Child-Safe Formulas
Their Icaridin sprays are generally approved for children as young as 6 months (always check the specific label). It is non-greasy and dries quickly, making application on squirming toddlers much easier.
Tick Removal
Care Plus also offers specialized tick removal tools. With tick-borne illnesses on the rise in Canada, having a proper removal tool in your first aid kit is an essential safety measure for outdoor families.
