Autan Family Care Spray

Autan is a globally recognized insect repellent brand with a history dating back to its creation by Bayer in Germany. The brand gained prominence for its effective formulations, particularly those utilizing Icaridin (also known as Picaridin), which was developed as a more user-friendly alternative to DEET. The product shown in the image is the Family Care spray, designed for mild protection suitable for the whole family, including children.

In 2002, the SC Johnson company acquired the Autan brand from Bayer, integrating it into its extensive portfolio of pest control products alongside brands like Raid and Off!. Today, Autan is a leading brand in the European market for personal insect protection. While manufacturing occurs in various locations to serve different regional markets, European stock—such as this Italian-labeled unit—is frequently produced in facilities in Italy or the Netherlands.

SC Johnson, the ultimate owner, remains a private, family-led American multinational. The company is committed to long-term sustainability and continues to invest in Autan as its primary personal repellent brand for international markets outside the United States.
