One Less Thing to Pack
Packing for a Caribbean vacation comes with enough decisions – your insect repellent doesn’t have to be one of them. Limited suitcase space often means deciding which travel essentials deserve a place in your luggage. Travelers already need to remember passports, medications, sunscreen, chargers, travel documents, and swimwear. Many travelers also worry about TSA liquid restrictions, leaking bottles, forgotten toiletries, or having to purchase unfamiliar products after they arrive. Although insect repellent is one of the most important travel essentials in tropical destinations, it doesn’t necessarily have to take up space in your luggage.
Throughout much of the Caribbean, biting insects like mosquitoes, sand flies, and biting midges are a common part of the tropical environment. Not only are bites themselves annoying, but these insects also have the potential to carry harmful diseases, making reliable insect protection just as important as sunscreen. Planning ahead for proper insect protection allows you to focus on enjoying your vacation rather than worrying about mosquito bites or searching for repellent after you arrive.

IMPEDE: Designed for the Caribbean
Tropical environments may be beautiful vacation destinations, but they also provide ideal conditions for mosquitoes and other biting insects to thrive. High temperatures, humidity, outdoor activities, and time spent around water can all challenge the performance of many insect repellents. Many insect repellents can evaporate more quickly or require frequent reapplication in hot, humid conditions. As sunscreen is another important product for the tropics, health authorities recommend applying sunscreen first and insect repellent second, using separate products rather than combination formulas, and products that pair well together. Finding the right insect repellent is key to staying protected and enjoying the Caribbean free from worry of biting insects.
IMPEDE is an insect repellent specifically designed for the tropical environments of the Caribbean. Using the active ingredient IR3535®, IMPEDE is effective against mosquitoes, sand flies, biting midges, and other biting insects commonly found throughout these destinations. Formulated with the controlled-release technology of STAYTEC™, IMPEDE offers up to 14 hours of protection by helping reduce evaporation and keeping the active ingredient on the skin surface longer. The DEET-free formula of IMPEDE is lotion based as opposed to a spray. The sweat- and water-resistant lotion of IMPEDE means wearers can apply the repellent exactly where they need it, avoiding sensitive areas such as the eyes and mouth.
To wear alongside sunscreen, apply your sunscreen product, followed by IMPEDE, in order to effectively repel insects and maintain sun protection. IMPEDE is safe for children, pregnant women, and those with sensitive skin, making it an excellent choice for the whole family. Whether you’re spending the day at the beach, sightseeing, hiking, boating, enjoying outdoor dining, or attending sporting events, IMPEDE provides dependable protection designed for the Caribbean lifestyle.
With IMPEDE readily available throughout the region, dependable protection is never far away. Travel lighter, pack smarter, and enjoy the Caribbean knowing dependable insect protection with IMPEDE is waiting when you arrive.
