Sure the one I have has as well.
I can't reach it right now I'm one side of the bivvy and the bottle is in the rucksack on the other, but I'll look in morning.

Forget what the bottle says I was Avon`s biggest fan for many many years absolutely loved it kept me bite free every country I went
and then I started getting bitten regularly and so did a lot of people CLEARLY something changed ? who cares what? point is it dont work like it used to anymore and there are far far better products on the market now

I think I've found out what changed, and it wasn't the removal of jojoba oil or citronella. A substance called piperidin, which was synthesised from black pepper oil.
So possibly with no black pepper oil in it, not so much insect repellent properties.
On the scientific side, some research, blood type O people are more susceptible to being bitten, twice as likely as type A, the 2 most common groups in UK. My AB blood is safe...
Eating garlic some say yes, some no, but research has not found any indication that eating garlic will help avoid being bitten.
So it's down to:
Insect repellent and what works for you. If you need the DEET, then Lifesystems 50.
Permethrin impregnated clothing, British and American Army Combats are permethrin impregnated.
Change your blood type to type B
Knowing the intelligence of some on here I can see questions on how to do that...

my ex is French
and French people eat tons of garlic and she always used to find it so funny that English say garlic stops mozzies
bit like the nut cases that say peeing round your bivvy stops rats
despite the fact the rats favourite places are in the sewers swimming in it

I believe there is a certain tone setting on delkims that is a known mozzie deterrent

Now that I found amusing.
I've got the instruction sheet that came with my Delkims and Receiver in the bivvy, I'll read through it later to find which button it is

Just bought some Vapona Coils from a local DIY shop so hopefully, with these and some Incognito, I'll be able to enjoy a few days on the bank without ending up in hospital with an arm the size of a hefty tree trunk and the colour of coal

just set an alarm on your phone for 6 hours then re apply the incognito and you wont get any trouble and can walk anywhere
