We usually use either jungle formula or Avon skin so soft.
Has anyone tried Mosi Gaurd? thinking of giving it a go as it is a natural product

For where? In a malarial area? One with dengue? Or just nuisance bites?

If it's malarial or dengue I would go with deet - it's not worth the risk.

I've not used but lemon Eucalyptus has proven tests that it works against being bitten but needs to be applied a lot more frequently, I'd give this a go in a dengue / malaria free country HOWEVER if the area you are going to might have them , I'd use a product using deet . There are some slow release formats now . We also used Piracadin in Vietnam and it seemed to protect us just aswell , but here there is low risk of malaria.

It's for mauritus, as far as I can tell it is free of malaria, but has dengue. I will probably buy some but take some with deet too, maybe best.😊
