![]() Overall, I do not recommend BullFrog Mosquito Coast SPF 30 Sunblock with Insect Repellent. My skin burned from the sun's rays and this product caused my skin to break out in a rash. Finally, the sunscreen was not very effective at all. ![]() I still got numerous mosquito bites when I used this product and it did not do a good job at repelling the insects from my skin. Second, the insect repellent is not very effective at all. The odor absorbs into my clothing and leaves my skin smelling like chemicals as well. First, this product has a very strong chemical smell. I found the BullFrog Mosquito Coast SPF 30 Sunblock with Insect Repellent at my local drugstore and thought it would be a good thing to try. But next time, I'll try something else!įalse Very strong chemical smell, does not work wellĪfter using a combination sunscreen/insect repellent for my toddler, I decided to try a combination product on myself. So I ended up having to live with the unpleasant smell and I still got bitten! To be fair, maybe the product really worked and if I didn't use it, I might have gotten more bites. But even though I thoroughly covered myself with the product, I still got two mosquito bites. I guess the insect repellent part of the formula is what required the bad smell! But when I actually applied it to my skin, I did NOT like the scent at all! I realize that it isn't going to smell like any typical sunblock. I smelled it in the store before I bought it and I thought it would be ok. I thought this would be a great alternative to using two separate products. We had planned an outing where sunblock and insect repellent were both required. If I am going to be outside in the sun for extended periods of time, I like to use BullFrog because I feel it really does block the sun very completely and for a long time. BullFrog makes what I consider "industrial strength" sunblocks. ![]() This entry was posted in Products and tagged Gluten Free List, gluten free products, sunscreen.BullFrog Mosquito Coast SPF 30 Sunblock with Insect Repellent sounded like a good idea in the store.
