Sorry must have spelt it wrong! RID as in get rid of mosquito bites!! I have just dragged out the bottle of roll on cream (I never take perfume as I always rub this on to my arms and legs day and nights so perfume is redundant!) You may be out of luck as the bottle says "Australia's Own Medicated Repellent". I like this stuff because the smell is minimal, the cream is easy to roll on and for me it is very effective - years since I had annoying bites. But I know others on the forum swear by a local product - it is a bit strong for my skin. Aeroguard also do tropical strength repellent in spray and cream. Perhaps these are all Australian products as we had to develop effective treatments for our "national salute" which for those from overseas is the constant hand waving in front of the face to shoo away flies!
