Cimed Xô Inseto Icaridina insect repellent

Xô Inseto is a prominent Brazilian brand of insect repellents, specifically formulated to protect against a range of insects including Aedes aegypti, which transmits Zika, Dengue, and Chikungunya. The brand is part of the Cimed Group (Grupo Cimed), one of Brazil's largest and most successful pharmaceutical companies.

Originally developed in Brazil to address the country's public health needs regarding mosquito-borne illnesses, the product shown features Icaridina (Icaridin), a long-acting active ingredient known for providing up to 12 hours of protection. Cimed maintains its manufacturing and operations primarily within Brazil, centralized in its industrial complexes such as the one in Pouso Alegre, Minas Gerais. The brand remains under the private ownership of the Cimed family, making it a 100% Brazilian enterprise without a foreign parent company conglomerate.
