Autan Protection Plus Insect Repellent

Autan is one of the world's most recognized brands in the insect protection category. Originally developed by the German pharmaceutical giant Bayer in the mid-20th century, it became a household name due to its effective repellent formulas. The brand was acquired by S. C. Johnson & Son in 2002 as part of their major acquisition of Bayer's household insecticide business.

Today, Autan is a flagship brand under the S. C. Johnson portfolio, known for utilizing active ingredients like Icaridin. While the brand has its roots in Germany, manufacturing now takes place across various global facilities to serve international markets, though much of the product sold in Europe is produced within the EU to ensure high safety and quality standards. S. C. Johnson, the ultimate owner, is a private family-led American company headquartered in Racine, Wisconsin.
