I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and just came across a mini bar of your soap! I was very interested to read the details on the box. Afghanistan has a very high malaria risk, so the fact that your soap is halal means a great deal to many people! In my spare time, I volunteer with a couple of groups that support local orphanages and schools to provide backpacks, school supplies, and clothing. I’m definitely going to add your soap to the list of recommended donations! I may put in an order soon myself for a case that we can gift to the orphanage in Kabul. Thank you for providing such a wonderful product!
We live in Central America, where the mosquitoes are plenty, and aggressive. Since we began using Osana soap we have had very few bites. Normally we also pair it with natural repellent creams/sprays, often that include UVA/B protection, such as Badger. I’ve used various sprays including citronella, though the soap seems to take repellent capacity to another level. They do recommend daily use and say that it works for 24 hours, so I assume that means the bites we have gotten were probably because we did not wash with it daily.
While I miss my normal scented body soap, this product actually keeps the mosquitos away. I recently became allergic to mosquito bites and have tried so many different products. Since using this product I have only been bitten once! I would recommend this product to anyone who wants to avoid mosquito bites.
This soap is great I had a trip to Dominican Republic I’m the person that gets bites for everything and infected bites a search and I found this soap it help me to enjoy outdoor and be safe without a single bite this soap can work more 20 hours even all day is great and now I use it for my kids and everyone in my family I don’t have to be worry about carrying a repellent this soap does it all . Use it, it is a great product. Thank you, Osana.
This is the he second time I’ve ordered and if you follow the directions it really helps. I was camping a few weeks ago and was not getting bit up as I normally would without it.
Amazing! Not a single mosquito bite since I started using this soap, and normally I am a mosquito magnet.
I bought this soap in order to prevent mosquito bites while traveling to India. I started using the soap while still State side to see if works. IT IS FANTASTIC! It has a very rich lather, and definitely does what it is supposed to do. Before using this soap I was a mosquito magnet, now I don’t get any mosquito bites! Now….if they would only make some Oak Mite soap…
In June my friends and I took a golf trip at the Poconos mountains in eastern Pennsylvania and wow was I grateful that I had been using your soap the previous month. While my friends golf round seemed to be interrupted by the nagging bugs I fortunately did not experience a single bite. I was incredibly lucky the soap I had used the previous month worked as stated and undoubtedly will be a customer for life.
I have been using this for 2 years now. Recently on Vacation I forgot to wash my back (disgusting I know) however I suffered the consequences and had my usual horrific reaction to the mosquito bites all over my back – but not bitten anywhere else like my ankles etc. The soap smells so good I make the entire family use it – especially my 10 year old son so I can do the sniff test to see if he actually washed when in the shower! Brilliant company – especially with speed of written responses. I totally swear by this soap.
I have been spending a lot of time in Mexico, Belize and Panama in the last year. On each trip I was beset by bug bites. The itching and stinging nearly ruined every trip. I tried the chemicals and they worked, but I hated the feel of having chemicals on my skin. I researched and found Osana’s Mosquito soap and on my last trip I was bug free. I actually was sitting on a patio with friends and a very large mosquito landed on the chair right next to my bare arm. It just sat there for awhile then flew away without even a nibble. I’m a big fan.
I didn’t get bitten very much this past summer. It must be the soap, as I am a mosquito magnet.
Not sure if this actually did anything, but I will give a little correlation:
1) For the first part of my trip, I got no mosquito bites and was using this stuff every morning. I was in Thailand for the first part of my trip.
2) Towards the end of my trip, I went through the whole bar and had to kick back to regular soap. I was in Vietnam and got eaten alive in Hanoi and parts of Da Nang.
To be upfront, I also used Sawyer Permethrin on my clothing – which really only helps with parts of your body covered by the clothes you treat.
I purchased this soap because it was the highest rated soap of its kind where all the reviews said it worked — the other bars all had at least a few reviews saying it did not work.
Also, it seemed like a good price to number of bars you get value.
It is not the height of bug season yet, but the bugs have started and so far, so good. I use it every day. Here’s my impressions:
1. The guy on here that noted he got almost expired bars — yeah, I got that, too. Bought it in April, and my bars expire in July. The bars are wrapped in plastic inside the box, so I don’t anticipate the bars will immediately explode or stop working precisely on July 25th (the expiration date), but I also doubt I will use all 4 bars before they become useless. I wish they’d give me at least a couple new and a couple old bars.
2. It is citronella soap and smells as such; if for whatever reason you don’t like that smell, don’t get it.
3. After your shower, it isn’t a strong smell — you won’t walk around smelling like a candle. If you smell your skin or if you’re sweating a lot, you’ll “smell like camping” is how I put it. I think it smells kind of like a new tent. It’s not bad but you’ll be a lot more citronella-y.
4. Be prepared to use it every day. There’s definitely a ‘magic’ to using it multiple days in a row — it sticks with you more.
I’d give it 5 stars if the bars weren’t about to expire 😀
I literally just got this today. I got the 4 pack. I live in Texas and the Mosquitoes here bite me to no end. They seem to target me more than others. Now honestly I don’t know if it works but what I can tell you is that the bar is bigger than say your average Irish Spring soap and has a very neutral smell, which is a big plus. I just washed my hands, arms, and face with it to test it out as a soap. It lathers VERY well. Even better than the Irish Spring I had next to it and I felt very clean. I will update this to 5 stars once I can see that I won’t get any bites. I’m impressed with what this company does to fight Malaria in poor countries, now hopefully the product works as described. It won’t take long for me to find out.
Excellent product! Perfect for using during pregnancy!
This soap really works and I use it every morning. The fragrance is mild and it doesn’t irritate my skin. If I skip a day then I get bitten badly. I gave it 4 stars because it’s I feel that it’s overpriced for 3 bars of soap and a travel bar. I can’t live without it because I’m a mosquito magnet. If I’m going to be outside at night, I sometimes use it again to be most effective. The best mosquito repellent I’ve found so far and I’ve tried them all.
My entire life (60+ years!) I’ve been plagued by mosquitoes. You would think those pesky flying phlebotomists rang the dinner bell every time I stepped outside. Even retreating into a porch with mosquito-proof screens didn’t help. I must be a big tasty blip on their heat-seeking radar. I hated the thought of slathering myself with nasty repellents laced with equally nasty chemicals, but it was either that or I had to resign myself to living with rock bottom hemoglobin levels from Spring to Fall’s first hard frost. This past June, I stumbled across Osana on Amazon and my life hasn’t been the same since. ZERO mosquito BITES!… Even deer flies avoid me! This product is absolutely incredible! I also like the idea that I am donating a bar with every box I purchase. To the ingenious folks who make this product: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
With the outbreak of Zika a travel companion had concerns for our next vacation to the Southern Caribbean. Normally, I use another product and came across this soap. This is a great alternative while also helping others through the donate-a-bar program. I am very happy to have discovered it and will be passing the info along to other travel companions. I received my shipping notification today that my bars are on their way and I am already excited to use them and share the info. Please keep up the good work.
Any chance at a future Body wash product. 🙂
Got it for my husband who works outside a lot. Does help repel the mosquitoes.
Smells clean, works great! Not one bite since starting to use it 2 weeks ago. Before using I was getting bitten daily. I’ll be ordering more.
