Directions on the brand page: "Reapply continuously when outdoors." (The Amazon listing read the same day also showed "For maximum protection reapply every 3.5 hours"; a second read did not find it, so the page copy uses the brand's wording.) Amazon: "Do not apply to hands of children. Apply to children only with adult supervision." Neither page shows an EPA registration number. All five actives and all twelve inerts appear on the 40 CFR 152.25 minimum-risk lists.”
