Question:
Can you imagine the FORTUNE to be made with a product that has little
or no scent and does both of these things to an adequate degree? Sorta
like 2-in-1 shampoo/conditioner?
If such exists I'd love to know! If the two products are incompatible
in terms of ingredients, I'd like to know that too. But it seems to me
anything that did even a HALF-arsed job of these two outdoor skin
protectant jobs at the same time... would beat the single-purpose
stuff hands down.
Answer:
-It certainly does already exist, but I wouldn't expect a fortune to be
made.
I've never seen the logic in the combination given that I try to keep
sunscreen off my clothes while I apply DEET mainly to clothing edges to
minimize absorption through the skin. I also usually apply DEET around
dusk when the insects are worst and after there is any need for
sunscreen.
Seems like the combination products are very inefficient and result in
unnecessary chemical exposure.
-There are combined products on the market. Check your local drug or
sporting goods stores. I'm not sure how popular they are, since many
people use alot more sun screen then insect repelent. I try to minimize my
use of the latter.
