What is this product's compatability with lotion insect repellants, with or without DEET?

Every product that I have used along with Blue Lizard has been compatible. I live in a wooded mountain area and use those products almost daily with BL. But, I never use products with Deet.

No it is a poor choice for that due to the narrow, large particle spray produced and that Deet is somewhat oily and bad for some synthetic materials. A better clothing spray would have Permethrin as the active ingredient instead of Deet and be either an aerosol or large trigger style pump container. Plus, Deet washes out right away so no protection after clothing is washed, making it less economical in the long term.

Hi Pegaboo,Yes, you can use lotion with it, as long as it does not contain any exfoliating beads. We also do not recommend using a lotion that is very thick. Please keep in mind that you may need to adjust the volume settings using the 'plus' and 'minus' buttons, depending on the consistency of the product that is being used.Best,simplehuman

I don't think there would be any problem. As long as the lotion isn't thicker than normal soap. However, I have not used mine with lotion!

10.0% It works well in my experience, and doesn't seem to be nearly as toxic as DEET containing repellents.

I had to make a new batch of bug repellant today so I used 20 drops of Bug Off in approximately 2 cups of witch hazel and shook it up really good. It smells even better than when I mixed it with alcohol and distilled water. It says on the label of the bottle I got last year to mix it with witch hazel to make a spray.

The Bug Guard shown is Expedition, it does not have Picardin in it. It has SPF . The Silver Colored Bug Guard has the Picardin, which is a safe form of Deet. Picardin is the active ingredient in this one, at 10%.

I use it I with other ingredients to make a liquid mixture to get rid of ticks and chiggers that attach to skin but do not know if it would affect cockroaches. Maybe the smell would drive them away but do not know.

Hello Duane, Thank your for your interest in Bug Soother. Bug Soother is 100% all natural, so it does not have any DEET or any other chemicals.

Only my opinion, I would be careful using this with a very young child. Do some research about DEET and children. That might give you more accurate information.

No, They do not have bug repellent in them. Application rates for sunscreen and bug repellant would be different.

I believe so. I've seen other posts where people have used it with shampoo, soaps, lotions and as a bug repellent.

I can't add much more than the other responses; however, I do want to give agreement to not using antibacterial soap and either using insecticidal or very mild and/or organic liquid soap.

I use it directly on my skin. We have shared it with others also without any adverse effects. Use it like any other deet. This stuff is the best out there.

you shouldn't spray anything over 50% DEET on your skin, it can be bad. you spray this on your clothes, then use a 30% deet on your skin. Travel nurse suggested this brand to me for overseas travel, and said to spray this all over my clothes before going out.

Hello Carlos... The percentage of picaridin in the product is 10%, and then it lists 90% 'other ingredients'. If its of any help to you, I have been a mountain biker for over 40 years and tried every bug spray, crme and lotion that comes on the market. Skin So Soft, without question is the best product there is. It repels everything I have ever come across except Maine Deer Flies, and almost nothing stops them except Bear dope*. I highly recommend Skin So Soft and I have used it exclusively since I discovered it in the early 90's. (Bear dope, used by hunters to repel those vicious Maine Deer Flies, is in fact Bear excrement! And no way I was going to wear that!!!) I hope this information helps you.
