Coconut or almond scented soap to repel insects

2 replies

Just seen this article in the Daily Fail which shows some scientific evidence to prove the theory that coconut scents are good for repelling insects.

My kids and I get bitten like crazy and are going to Italian Lakes this year which is a recipe for disaster.

What are the best and nicest smelling coconut/almond shower gels to try? The Native ones referenced in the article aren't available in the UK.

Will be combining with Avon Skin So Soft (not looking for deet or pills)

Innecto do a variety of coconut hair products, including a hair oil. It’s very cheap and might fit the bill. You could use the hair oil on your skin.
