Leather So Soft Original Badeölit has so many uses.
Since the introduction of the original Skin So Soft bath oil, Avon has expanded the Skin So Soft line. Today it includes body oils, lotions, deodorants, insect repellants, and more.
Although originally a bath oil, many people have found it useful for other applications, including use as a household cleaner.
Avon makes no official claim about these additional uses and is not responsible for any adverse consequences of such use.
But over time, customers have found many other ways to use their bath oil at home.
I highly recommend doing some personal testing to find out what works best for you and your home.
