LNN Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 I use the products that contain IR3535. One caution - Environmental Working Group frowns on aerosols - because it's easy to inhale whatever is in the product. They prefer lotions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philamom Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Free shipping and on sale this weekend. I like the IR3535 lotion with built-in sunscreen. Not the kids version that goes on blue - messy. They also sell a pump spray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAMom Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 i just checked out avon and they have free shipping this weekend -- what is it that i want -- the ones with picardin? please advise -- thanks! Yeah, I wonder what is the best one. Here are the Avon wipes. They only have 10% picaridin (but I wonder if combined with SSS they have more repellent properties?). I read Picaridin has to be 20% to work for ticks. The wipes got good reviews on Amazon, but most of the reviewers mentioned mosquitos, not ticks http://www.amazon.com/Avon-Skin-Soft-Picaridin-Towelettes/dp/B001BGCB86/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header The Avon Picaridin spray is also only 10% http://www.amazon.com/Avon-Skin-GUARD-PICARIDIN-Spray/dp/B003TYGF8A/ref=pd_sim_bt_3 Pump too http://shop.avon.com/shop/product.aspx?pf_id=31314&level1_id=300&level2_id=303&pdept_id=344&dept_id=421 I ended up ordering these non-avon wipes instead (have 20% picaridin which is supposed to be effective against ticks) http://www.amazon.com/Adventure-Medical-Natrapel-Repellent-0165-6095/dp/B001ARBSTO/ref=pd_sim_hpc_14 This product, SSS bug repllent sun screen has a different chemicial (not picaridin) called IR3535 http://www.amazon.com/Avon-SKIN-SO-SOFT-Bug-Repellent-Moisturizing/dp/B0001ZWPI4/ref=cm_rdp_product This article mentions the avon IR3535 product ... may be effective against ticks for 3 hours http://www.ct.gov/caes/lib/caes/documents/publications/fact_sheets/tickbiteprevention05.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EAMom Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Free shipping and on sale this weekend. I like the IR3535 lotion with built-in sunscreen. Not the kids version that goes on blue - messy. They also sell a pump spray. Does avon have a IR3535 version without sunscreen? I didn't see one. I read somewhere that the sunscreen isn't ideal b/c it doesn't protect against UV b???? It looks like Avon is the only company that has IR3535 products! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IR3535 LLM--I agree about the aerosols.. There is a lot of waste, and it goes where it isn't intended.

I think I read they leave a residue though (but don't they all). All Avon IR3535 products include sunscreen. I wish they offered it without - for use at nightime (I use the picaridin at night). This is what our LLMD recommended for dd. edit- oops, I see you already mentioned the natrapel. Edited May 27, 2012 by philamom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I can tell him he can use it instead of the Avon. btw- Mosquito Coast repellent was recommended at the camp where my daughter got her tick bite. Unfortuantley, she got the tick bite on a preview day, when they gave out the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EAMom Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Coleman Skin Smart Deet free insect repellent with IR3535 - no sunscreen. colemanrepellents.com Thanks! . I ordered some of the Coleman wipes (IR3535 20%) to compare to the other wipes I ordered (picaridin 20%). I'll try them in Fl if there are Mosquitos. I could do one type of wipe on each side of my body to see what works best (at least for Mosquitos). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
