Insect repellent
Not to be confused with (now discontinued) Red Zone Super – Red Zone has a similar classic scent but the base is thicker and clear, this gives it a stronger longer lasting effect but a slightly oiler feel on the skin and hair, but this is more than made up for by how well it works!
Red Zone is an insect repellent spray that is highly effective but gentle on the skin. This repellent has been developed for use on humans and is not licensed for animal use so is for human use only.
It is formulated with Saltidin®, a non-toxic repellent that gives long-lasting, powerful performance against a broad spectrum of insects, including midges and the dreaded horse fly.
Red Zone Super has a pleasant citrus smell from its fragrance blend, with some alcohol in the base to allow it to be easily sprayed and spread but this will evaporate once on the skin to leave the repellent behind
We regret that at present Red Zone is only licensed in the UK so will not be available to International customers.
The ingredients in Red Zone have been chosen to provide an effective, safe, non-toxic product.
Water
Added to help create the right consistency.
Saltidin
A state-of-the-art synthetic insect repellent that is highly effective yet extremely safe to use with a pleasant, mild nutty aroma.
Polyethelene glycol
Keeps the oil ingredients mixed with the water-based ingredients.
Fragrance
Pleasant scent to improve user experience.
Ethanol
To keep everything mixed together and make it sprayable. Once on the skin the ethanol evaporates away leaving the repellent on your skin!
Saltidin is a trademark of Saltigo GMBH, Germany.
Shake it well and especially apply to areas where you cannot see or feel the flies landing, like the back of your neck, arms and your legs. Smooth it over the skin to spread evenly.
Yes, Saltidin is an excellent midge repellent but you will likely have to put Red Zone in your hair if you are not wearing a hat!
These are the guide protection times:
12 hours of protection against temperate mosquitoes (Culex)
6 hours of protection against tropical tiger mosquitoes (Aedes)
6 hours of protection against tropical malaria mosquitoes (Anopheles)
10 hours of protection against temperate ticks (Ixodes)
4 hours of protection against horseflies (Tabanidae)
10 hours of protection against black flies (Simuliidae)
10 hours of protection against sand flies (Phlebotomus)
8 hours of protection against biting midges (Culicoides)
Although Red Zone is more gentle than most repellents we always recommend doing a patch test before wider application.
No, Saltidin the main ingredient does not damage plastics, leather or skin.
Red Zone is not licensed for sale for animal use, neither are any Saltidin based repellents yet, but we do not know of any specific reason that it would be dangerous or damaging to animals.
If you are not totally happy with Red Zone just email us and we will arrange a refund. We only want satisfied customers.

Committed to using the most natural ingredients possible
Since we started Red Horse back in 2006, we’ve been committed to using the most natural ingredients possible, ingredients that are effective and yield great results while still being kind to equine hooves and tissue. This commitment is at the heart of our promise to our customers and is a core part of the brand and our business.
Because of this, we’ve always made a point of avoiding the caustic nasties and bulky fillers commonly found in many mass market products and have sought out and selected suppliers to enable us to deliver this promise through our range.
