Peter 9/1/2020 8:53:49 AM | Hello Karen and Karen....Sorry for slow response. As to the first question about "skin so soft," the ingredient ACETATE DIETHYLHEXYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE is a surfactant. Surfactants may act as detergents, wetting agents, emulsifiers, foaming agents, and dispersants. I consider them toxic. And although this product may seem to help the skin, the greater concern is what affect these surfactants may have internally. I have always advocated that we avoid surfactants. As for my thoughts on insect repellents, many people have shared that the Citronella that Cathee from Natural Genesis provides works well. Several people have also shared with me that Neem oil is very safe and effective. I keep Cedar oil under my sink that I will sometimes spray on my outdoor patio. Strength and Love, Peter | ||||||

But for those with MD and Lyme, I think I recall Cathee (Natural Gineses) mentioning the the essential oil Citronella, mixed with a carrier oil would work as an insect repellent. Peter, I would be interested in your insights on this. Karen (the Librarian) | ||||||
Karen 8/20/2020 8:28:03 AM | Hi Peter, Here's another one for you. Have you ever heard of Skin So Soft from Avon? It's a bath oil that's been around for years. It has something in it that repels insects, and we all (my family) used to rub it on our skin when we went camping or out in the woods. Insects LOVE me...they will find me out of a crowd of people and bite...hard..., but if I put Skin So Soft oil on my exposed areas of skin, I won't get bitten. Here are the ingredients: MINERAL OIL/HUILE MINERALE ISOPROPYL PALMITATE DICAPRYL ADIPATE PARFUM/FRAGRANCE SIMMONDSIA CHINENSIS (JOJOBA) SEED OIL TOCOPHERYL ACETATE DIETHYLHEXYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE. Is it ok? Hope so! I like being outside in my yard and if I wear this I don't get bitten. Thanks! Karen | ||||||
