Skin So Soft bug spray
Designed specifically for outdoor protection, the bug spray formulas offer a different approach than the original bath oil.
Bug spray vs bath oil
The bug spray is formulated with insect protection in mind, while the bath oil was created as a moisturizer. Bug spray applies as a spray for quick coverage on exposed skin.
Best for outdoor use
The spray format makes it ideal for quick application before heading outside. Reapply as needed throughout the day for continued protection.
Mosquito questions answered
Does it work on all insects? Results vary by person and environment. The bug spray line was created with mosquitoes in mind.
Skin So Soft lotion for body moisture
A lighter alternative to the bath oil, the lotion absorbs quickly and works well for everyday moisturizing.

FAQs
Find answers to the most common questions about Skin So Soft products.
Skin So Soft products work as moisturizers, bath oils, and bug repellents depending on which formula you choose. The original bath oil hydrates skin while the bug spray formulas offer outdoor protection. Each product serves a distinct purpose, though some overlap in benefits.
Start with what you need most. If you want daily moisture, the lotion works well. For bath time, the bath oil is the classic choice. If bugs are your concern, the bug spray or Bug Guard formula handles that job better than the original oil.
