Organic anti-bug lotion for infants

Post by lightblue » Sat, 17 Jul 2010 8:09 pm

Hi there,

Does anyone know of any fully organic brands that sell anti-bug lotion for infants? Please also tell me where I can purchase them. Don't mind online shops if that's the only option.

I've been looking around a few pharmacies like Guardian, Watson, Unity...but they mostly have patches or only keep the Johnson & Johnson anti-mosquito lotion which contains something called DEET and I'm not sure if that's totally safe.

Thanks in advance!

if you are looking for an all natural mosquito repellent you can buy mosi-guard (citronella based) at most guardian pharmacies (http://www.mosi-guard.com/faq.html). if you want a more extensive range of natural mosquito repellents check out the store supernature (under parkhouse apts on orchard boulevard at corner of tomlinson). they have an entire shop dedicated to natural and organic non-perishable products.

Hi! I'm arriving from UK in August. I loaded up on Avon's Skin So Soft which is the best bug repellent, especially for children/infants. Can you get over there? Look it up on the web. Lots of professional travelers use it, although not originally marketed as repellent. Its a dry oil spray.
