<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> When I spoke with a knowlegable, responsible person from Avon about their products, the woman indicated that any product with alcohol might be of concern, but she didn't think that the alcohol in the Skin-so-Soft sun screen and repellent (or combination) was an issue. I don't put stock in other people's personal experiences, but I can tell you I drown myself in the sun screen/repellent every week-end and have no reaction...that I know of. (No gas, no uncomfortable sensation that I sometimes get...like a flush, etc.) Linda
