that's so funny you mentioned the Off! Clip On repellent. I say the same commercial, and bought it at the store without looking at the label.
I got it home, and it says, "not for use by children". oops!
Then, I looked at the ingredients, as well as how it works. I took it back to the store without opening it. There are all sorts of warnings about "not inhaling the fumes"...it is basically the Off! insect repellent, but with a fan to blow the pesticide out around you. It supposedly covers you from head to toe, but you it is harmful to breathe. What?! So, instead of absorbing pesticide through the skin, you're inhaling it instead. No thanks! :) They did a good job with the advertising, though..got me to not even look at the label!
I have not heard of Avon's Skin So Soft...I'll look into that. Thanks!! :-) I can try it first (I get bitten often, too, and see if it irritates my skin, and can try a small patch on my kiddo).
