Clipp cream redux

Way back in the mists of time, I blogged about Clipp cream which I found useful as a mosquito repellent!  It's also a really good moisturizer for feet and hands in my humble opinion.  It is silicon-based and lemon scented just so you know in case either of those are not good news for you.

Since then, I have had a small but steady stream of inquiries about where to obtain this fabelled product - normally from people who have been given some by visitors at some point. But narry a supplier could be found on the internet.

Now, however, thanks to a reader in the US, I have been put in touch with a small company based in the US called  Derma Beauty  who can supply this cream.  Please note that it is a very small company with the personal touch so orders may take a little while to dispatch, but Salam says she is happy to supply international orders and if the relevant purchasing links on her site don't work, please email her.

The cream obviously costs more if you buy it via Salam as she has to import it.  I have been unable to track down any other supplier in the whole world!

I haven't used the company myself, but 'a satisfied reader' has.

Good mosquito repellent cream

Mosquitoes are the bane of my existence here, and now the weather's warming up, they are coming out in force again.
Mosquito nets don't suit my circumstances - my two cats wander at will through the night and one of them sleeps on my bed so any net would be disturbed. I have got mosquito-mesh screens at all my windows and at my patio doors but - ahem - I leave it a bit ajar there, and also the kitchen door open for - yes, you guessed it, the furry fiends to wander in and out as they please. (Slight theme here :D )

Anyway, around New Year, I had very dry hands from doing too much cleaning with harsh chemicals and no rubber gloves, so I bought this cream from my local pharmacy called Clipp Cream - universal cream for hand and body - it says on the blurb, and its natural ingredients glycerine, lemon oil, 'allantoine' (whatever that is!) and silicones. It has a very pleasant smell and restored my hands within a few days....

but.... it has the brilliant side effect of repelling mosquitoes! on me anyway - I know everyone is different and different things work on different people - but its worth trying!

Cost 12LE for 62g - and that tube lasted me about 2 months - doing hands, lower arms, ankles and feet most nights and a tiny bit round neck and face.

Anyway, here is a picture of the box for the Enquiring Minds that Want to Know
