Autan Tropical insect repellent

Autan is a renowned global brand specializing in insect protection products. The brand was originally developed by the German company Bayer in the mid-20th century, specifically launching in the 1960s as a revolutionary repellent using active ingredients like Icaridin. In 2002, as part of a strategic divestment, Bayer sold its household insecticide business, including Autan, to S.C. Johnson & Son.

Today, Autan is a leading name in the insect repellent market, offered in various formulations such as sprays, sticks, and lotions. While the brand has its roots in Germany, it is now part of the American multinational S.C. Johnson's portfolio. Manufacturing occurs in various global facilities to serve regional markets; for instance, the product shown is distributed and managed by S.C. Johnson Italy S.r.l., headquartered in Arese, though manufacturing locations can vary based on the specific batch and regional supply chain.
