It is not sold for that purpose, but it works on little things we have here called midgees.
I think it is sold as bath oil, but you can smooth it on your skin.
I know this sounds stoopid, but in desperation, I have used Gin. It was pretty good too.

Wow, that's really universal, because we use Skin-So-Soft as mosquito repellant here, too. Well, mostly we use it on the babies in my family -- everybody else uses a repellant containing DEET. I don't usually use anything at all unless I'm hiking in the woods or deep brush, which I did yesterday afternoon. Then I use the DEET stuff on my shoes and pant-legs because I hate getting ticks, and it does seem to help with that.
