I hate mosquitoes with such a fiery passion. Any bug that bites me, my skin immediately swells into hives. So when I was backpacking, someone had recommended this as repellant against both mosquitoes and sand flies that was DEET-free, so I could put it on even at night and not worry about my levels of DEET-exposure. AND it doubles as sun screen and lasts for hours? That's even BETTER, since I often forget to reapply or get lazy about applying multiple things to my skin. Most importantly - this WORKS for me. I've been able to dodge getting eaten alive (for the most part) with this, so this is part of my essential DEET-free mosquito/bug repellant kit.
One thing to note: As a long-time swimmer, I'm used to the "oily coating" that these waterproof sunscreens leave you with, but I know that bothers other people. At least this one has a nice scent! Just remember to shake the bottle before use.

Possible allergic reaction
My 4yr old had bugs at school so got this spf bug repellent. After a few days she developed a rash only in the areas I had applied — legs and arms, not chest and back. However, I still believe people should try this product. Avon skin so soft lotion was what I Religiously sent to my sister when she was in the peace corps in Africa. It really works, just not for my 4yr old. Lesson learned.. patch test friends!
