Never worked for us. It's very greasy and smells very strong too (like citronella)

Had the babyganics for a few years, but just switched to skin so soft in the hopes for better results. So far, so good.

I don't support Avon and haven't tried babyganics but I make my own. It's super easy and I can give you the "receipe" if you're interested.

I am a mosquito magnet (type O+ blood) and I used this weekend and didn't get bit once. Neither did my daughter.

I would love to hear your recipe! They chow down on my husband (also O+ blood) and it seems the little guy gets it too. I don't get touched (A- blood... guess it tastes gross to them lol) and neither does my daughter. But my poor husband and son... they would really appreciate a repellant that works!

Re: Any thoughts on babyganics insect repellent

Wow is it really related to blood type?
Because i have A blood and I never get a bite. Like EVER. Yet DH can be sitting right next to me and get eaten alive. (not sure his blood type)

Hmmm

I had read once that it is also related to the amount of carbon dioxide you expel. Apparently some people put out more CO2 and that attracts them

I'd love the recipe - I've tried everything and am forced to use Off or Cutter w/ Deet b/c it's the ONLY thing that works - the Ped told me to spray their clothes rather than their skin ........but I still hate using it and would love to find something that works!!

Is it really blodd type related? I'm O - ...as are both of my boys - but myself and the older one get eaten alive, while they don't seem to like my younger son at all.

And my older son has a very bad reaction, which is why the chemicals are the lesser of 2 evils ....Chat Icon

I will send you both the receipe. I think any blood type can get bitten but they love type O the best! O+ is a common blood type and O- is more rare. So the majority of people (bc majority have O+) get bit the most.

Also pregnant women are targeted bc they exhale more carbon dioxide, so when I was O+ and pregnant I was feasted on. I still have scars!

Also if you're drinking alcohol you're more attractive to Mosquitos! I cannot stand them. I have PTSD from getting bit so bad.

I also created a bug bite relief stick if anyone wants that recipe!

I just picked up one at BBB from The Honest Company. It smells just like citronella. I used it on Saturday for the first time. We were out in the backyard with my son for a good portion of the night and he didn't get any bites while other people did.
