Frequently asked questions

What are the ingredients in Proven?

ACTIVE INGREDIENT: Picaridin 20%
OTHER INGREDIENTS: 80%

Where are your products made?

Proven products are proudly made in the USA, with ingredients sourced from Germany and the US.

I want to wear sunscreen and protect myself from bugs. Can I wear both insect repellent and sunscreen together?

If you are using Proven in conjunction with sunscreen, please note that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends that you apply sunscreen first before applying insect repellent. This is true for both lotions and spray products. Rub on each product according to the label instructions.

Does Proven Insect Repellent have an expiration date?

Proven Insect Repellent does not have a printed expiration date. The active ingredient, Picaridin, is effective for up to 10 years. However, we recommend replacing Proven three years after opening, as the formula can lose effectiveness over time once opened.

Is Proven Insect Repellent waterproof?

No. The Proven Insect Repellent formula is not waterproof. The product needs to be reapplied after fully submerging in water.

I am allergic to black pepper. Does that mean I’m allergic to Picaridin?

Picaridin is a synthetically derived chemical modeled after compounds found in the black pepper plant. It was made to resemble piperine, the compound found in the group of plants that are used to produce black pepper. However, it does not actually contain piperine. We recommend consulting your doctor to ensure this ingredient would not cause an allergic reaction.
