Why people choose this one
This formula is built for sunny outdoor days when sunscreen and bug protection both matter. It combines broad-spectrum SPF 28 with DEET-free IR3535, so one bottle can help cover sun exposure, mosquitoes, and ticks during beach trips, fishing, paddling, and yard work.
Active ingredient
IR3535 is a synthetic amino acid derivative that's been used as an insect repellent in Europe for over 30 years. It's registered with the EPA, recommended by the CDC, and pairs cleanly with sunscreens, which is why Avon uses it in the Bug Guard SPF formulas. The 10% concentration in this product gives up to 8 hours of protection.
Who it's for
This aerosol is for beach days, fishing trips, kayaking, camping, and sunny backyard projects where sunscreen and bug repellent both belong in the plan. It is a practical choice when you want DEET-free mosquito and tick protection plus SPF coverage in one formula instead of packing separate bottles.
How to use
- Shake the bottle, then apply a thin, even layer to all exposed skin and clothing. Do not spray directly on your face: spray on hands first, then apply.
- Avoid eyes, mouth, and any cuts or irritated skin.
- Re-apply after about 8 hours of outdoor exposure, or sooner if heavy sweating, swimming, or rain has wet down your skin or gear.
- Wash off with soap and water when you come back inside, and wash treated clothing before next wear.
