Hello subscribers and visitors. This is just a quick video I did to explain Avon’s SSS Bug Guard product line. What is the difference between the green colored bottle and the silver? Watch the video to find out.
Avon Bug Guard FAQ:
Is it safe for my family?
The answer to that question, would be yes. According to the EPA, Picaridin and IR3535 is safe for the whole family; including children, pets, pregnant and nursing mothers. However; should be applied with the following guidelines in mind:
Apply repellents only to exposed skin.
Do not use repellents under clothing.
Never use repellents over cuts, wounds or irritated skin.
Do not apply to eyes or mouth, and apply sparingly around ears.
When using sprays, do not spray directly on face – spray on hands first and apply to face.
Use just enough repellent to cover exposed skin. Heavy application and saturation are generally unnecessary for effectiveness.
If biting insects do not respond to a thin film of repellent than apply a but more.
If using products containing Picaridin wash treated skin with soap and water after use.
Keep repellent out of reach of children. Do not apply to their hands – they may put their hands in their mouth.
For children under the age of 2 consult a doctor.
What are the active ingredients in the product?
Avon Bug Guard formulas contain either one of the following EPA registered active ingredients: Picaridin is a synthetically derived ingredient and is an effective alternitive to DEET. It has a low odor with a light clean feel. This syntheticially based ingredient should be washed off after use.
IR3535 is botanically based ingredient. It is non-greasy and an effective repellent that protects agaings a broad range of insects. it is a gentle formula that does not have to be washed off after use or returning indoors.
Which Avon Bug Guard Should I use?
If you’ll be outdoors during dusk or dawn and in areas where mosquitos and insects are most active SSS bug guard plus Picaridin would be the best choice.
If you’ll be out and about during the day when sun protection and insect protection is both needed then one of the SSS bug guard plus IR3535 formulas would be best.
Either of these products come in an aerosol spray, pump spray or lotion.
