Given all the skin Victoria's Secret exposes I can see the concern: kudos to a concerned manufacturer.
Is it a sunscreen as well?

This thread needs photos. Oh I know, the centerfold in Journal of Insect Science always drives me wild. Did you see October's Labcoat of the Month? |

Of course, if you actually look at the article, you'll see that in their tests the perfume failed miserably. I just read last June's Consumer Reports where they also did bug juice tests. Avon Skin-So-Soft was also debunked. Interesting, though, was that picaridin and oil of lemon eucalyptus both out-perfromed deet--without melting plastic.

I used oil of lemon eucalyptus in Yosemite last July, waited until I saw mosquitos landing and then applied the product. They stopped landing. Due to the drought it was a light bug season, but the stuff did seem to work itrw.
