Well, I can tell you from first-hand experience last week DON'T WEAR SKIN CREAM WITH COCOA BUTTER. I put on skin cream that had cocoa butter in it after a shower and then went to a park. Nobody else was being bothered by the gnats and other critters except me. They were swarming around me like bees around clover. Everywhere I went, they followed. I know they're attracted by certain scents and that must be one of their favorites.
