I thought you guys were kidding about some off-label use of an Avon skin lotion, but apparently this is for real. If you look up the active ingredient in Wikipedia it lists other repellants including one I think from the UK called Smidge.

Miserable to be outside my shop during certain hours of the day. I got some mosquito nets that are to be worn over the hat. The bugs get through. Nothing we have tried seems to work.
