User questions & answers

Question:	Does this have any spf
Answer:	The expedition includes sunscreen. Picaridin repels insects, ticks and chiggers. It is a synthetic compound first made in the 1980s. It was made to resemble the natural compound piperine, which is found in the group of plants that are used to produce black pepper. Picaridin has been widely used as an insect repellent in Europe and Australia, but has only been available in the United States since 2005.
Question:	Is this product vegan
Answer:	Unsure but I know I don’t get bit by anything when I wear it. And we go camping a lot. also safe for pets
Question:	What is the difference between this product and the exhibition product ?what is Picaridin and can it be applied to animals
Answer:	Actually I was hoping it would smell like Skin so soft but it doesn’t. It does have a little chemical smell. But it does work.
Question:	does this product repel chiggers
Answer:	I wouldn't recommend this as 20% Picaridin or 30% Oil of Lemon Eucalyptus are the recommended levels for repelling mosquitoes. Looks like Avon didn't do their research or they are cheaping out.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on hay mites
Answer:	It is only contains 15% DEET and from what I read, repellents with 50% DEET are recommended. The label reads that it repels mosquitos, gnats, ticks, biting flies, chiggers and fleas. I checked Deep Woods Off and it has 25% DEET and doesn't list hay mites on the label as being repelled. Good luck! Those mites sound fairly awful.
Question:	Is there an unscented option
Answer:	Not that I have seen. I would love that. This is the best available I could find. The scent is slight sweet like cotton candy but it goes on dry and after the initial spray you can't really smell it much.
Question:	where is this product made
Answer:	I don't see exactly where it is manufactured but it does say "Sold by SC Johnson and sons Inc. Racine, WI USA ". I can tell you it works well. I work nights and I am outside almost the entire night. I wear shorts and spray this on my legs. It has a slight sweet scent almost like cotton candy. It goes on dry and is not greasy or oily at all. I really don't like insect sprays that are oily and smell like Deet.
Question:	Does it smell
Answer:	Yes it has a fresh kind of fruity scent. I believe they make a non-scented one though.

OFF! FamilyCare Smooth & Dry

Enjoy mosquito protection for the whole family. OFF! FamilyCare is ideal for every outdoor occasion. Use it for your trips to the backyard, beach, garden, picnic, park or just while you’re relaxing.

Effective DEET-based Active Ingredient

DEET is the common name for N,N-Diethyl-m-toluamide. DEET works by interfering with neurons and receptors located on the mosquito’s antennae that detect chemicals such as lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Moreover, it’s also effective against biting flies, gnats, and chiggers. When applied correctly, DEET forms a vapor barrier at the skin surface that deters mosquitoes from landing on the skin.

User questions & answers

Question:	will this product melt plastics or clothing
Answer:	Yes, it is safe for the face. Keep away from your eyes and mouth, as with anything. It is safe for babies and pets also. Keep off babies hands (because they put them in their mouth) and avoid their eyes and mouth.
Question:	recommended for children? infants
Answer:	Yes, 8 individually wrapped towelettes in each package.
Question:	Can it be used on the face
Answer:	Yes, works great on repelling sand flies in northern Wisconsin. I also agree the towelettes work great and are great for traveling. Fishing, camping, hiking, etc.
Question:	Are there individually wrapped towelettes in this package
Answer:	Picaridin represents 10% by volume. They don't list the other 90%, so you're supposed to think they're all harmless. If you're really concerned, call Avon at 1-800-FORAVON. The scent is quite pleasant; not at all medicinal or unpleasant. Sorry I can't provide more info. -Gordon

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the expiration date
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Today is 6/16/19 (for reference). What is the expiration date if I buy today
Answer:	Yes it does
Question:	It says "Lot of 2". Does that mean that there are 16 packets? Thanks
Answer:	No, not at all. This is a safe plant-based repellent, safe for small children and pets. It is safe to wear and does not need to be washed off like chemically made DEET repellents, which can be harmful and poisonous.
Question:	Will these stop biting sand flies
Answer:	I personally would recommend it for kids with the following caveat. You don't want it on their eye area, hands, their palms and thumbs, fingers whatever goes in the mouth. So just wipe their legs and arms with it, keeping them from touching until it dries and then wipe their face. This is only my personal grandparent and parent experience, i am not a medical person. Younger than 6 months I used to use just the Skin So Soft Bath Oil but in an evening situation with aggressive mosquitoes it didn't really do enough. Hope that helps! Dawn

User questions & answers

Question:	The original skin so soft works as a bug repellent? Or Do I have to purchase skin so soft specifically for bugs / mosquitoes
Answer:	25 ounces in each bottle, totaling 50 ounces.
Question:	Is original bath oil a better moisturizer than avon intensive therapy for simple, dry skin? thx much
Answer:	Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil Ingredients: MINERAL OIL/HUILE MINERALE, ISOPROPYL PALMITATE, DICAPRYL ADIPATE, PARFUM/FRAGRANCE, SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL, TOCOPHERYL ACETATE, DIETHYLHEXYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE
Question:	How much is in each bottle? 24 oz or 25 oz? Or do both bottles total 25oz
Answer:	The Bug Guard that I had purchased in February/ March expires 2018. Unfortunately, this product did not work for me, but, neither did the other 4 types of insect repellents I purchased! The South American mosquitoes bit the living daylights out of me!
Question:	What are the ingredients
Answer:	I think it might depend on who you buy it from but usually at least one year. That being said I have used them after the expiration date and they still seem effective. Each towelette is wrapped /sealed in foil and they stay very moist.

User questions & answers

Question:	This does not smell like the original. The original had a scent that you would just fall in love with. What happened
Answer:	Mine smells just like the old original scent. So not sure why others did not receive the same one... ?
Question:	Does this contain deet
Answer:	No, it doesn't.
Question:	Does this product have jojoba now? I do not see jojoba as an ingredient
Answer:	I double checked and picture is correct, under the word original, it lists +jojoba. Thanks again for question.
Question:	Is this the one from years ago? I remeber my mother & grandma using a white bottle with the 3 S on it for skin so soft. I want to buy it for my grandm
Answer:	This is a discontinued lotion but not the one you are talking about. I think the one you remember is this other discontinued one it is in a white bottle, the drop is in the middle and it does not have jojoba in it. Rare new old stock and hard to find.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it work on the California coast? Also does it work against ticks
Answer:	It fit me kind of big and the material is stretchy.
Question:	Does this repel fleas
Answer:	it is stretchy but the arms have buttons so it doesn't have the same directional stretch that the bodice does.
Question:	Does this help with biting flies
Answer:	Maybe. I liked the fit of the XL because it was slimming, but I did have to alter the skirt (it was a little too tight). I'd go with the XXL if you don't want to make any alterations, but I, personally, wanted the slimming effect of a little too small. You might want to go with the XXL if you want it to fit right out of the package. Good luck!
Question:	What are the "inert ingredients
Answer:	It is a magnetic snap at the top center of the bag. There is a zippered pocket inside.

About All Terrain

Our mission is to help children and families get active and outdoors, together.

All Terrain was started by a climber who was hiking in Costa Rica when a bottle of DEET-based insect repellent he had leaked. The DEET ate through his backpack and melted the keys on a calculator he was carrying. He was concerned, so developed Herbal Armor Insect Repellent without DEET.*

Today, All Terrain offers a broad range of effective skin protection products containing safe & clean ingredients, including:
