Why California Shoppers Search for Skin So Soft
California’s mosquito problem isn’t what most people expect. It’s not just a rural or swampy issue — Los Angeles now ranks among the top two worst cities in the entire country for mosquitoes, and Sacramento isn’t far behind. Urban heat, irrigation systems, and standing water in densely populated neighborhoods create ideal breeding conditions from spring through fall.
So it’s no surprise that California shoppers search for Avon Skin So Soft hoping it’ll help with the bugs.
Here’s the honest answer: Avon does not market or endorse the Original Skin So Soft Body Oil as a mosquito repellent. Despite the long-running myth, the Original formula isn’t tested or registered as an insect repellent, and Avon has never claimed that it is.
That said, the Original Body Oil is still one of Avon’s best-selling products of all time — a genuinely beloved moisturizer that’s been a customer favorite since 1961.

Skin So Soft Bug Repellent: Real Mosquito Protection for California

If you want something that’s actually built and tested to repel mosquitoes, this is it.
Skin So Soft Bug Repellent products (sold under the name Avon Skin So Soft Bug Guard) use real, EPA-registered active ingredients like Picaridin and IR3535 — the same category of ingredients found in other trusted repellents, just without the heavy DEET smell. It comes in a few different forms:
- Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Aerosol Spray — repels mosquitoes, deer ticks, gnats, and more
- Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Pump Spray — same protection, in a pump bottle
- Bug Guard Plus Picaridin Towelettes — convenient wipes for the diaper bag, beach bag, or backpack
- Bug Guard Plus IR3535 Expedition Spray — repels mosquitoes that may carry West Nile virus, plus SPF 28 sun protection in one step
- Bug Guard Plus Gentle Breeze SPF 30 Lotion — a 2-in-1 sunscreen and bug repellent lotion, gentle enough for the whole family
West Nile virus is a real concern in California — the state consistently reports some of the highest West Nile case counts in the country each summer. The IR3535 Expedition Spray’s dual bug-and-sun protection makes it especially practical for outdoor activities across the state.
