Avon Representatives and customers of Avon Skin So Soft Original have found it to be a great all-around cleaner and have compiled the following additional great to uses. The Original Bath Oil has also enjoyed a decades-long reputation of repelling mosquitoes from individual users. Be clear that Avon emphasizes the bath oil was not intended to repel mosquitoes or sold for that purpose and is not approved by the EPA as a repellent. Avon has developed a dedicated insect repellent line called Skin So Soft Bug Guard that provides effective protection against ticks and mosquitoes PLUS the products are DEET-free.

Avon Skin So Soft Original is approved by the FDA/CDA as a bath oil. Avon does not endorse its use for anything other than a bath oil. Avon reps and customers of Original Bath Oil have found it to provide tons of additional uses, beyond with the use instructions.
