Would like to know the safest insect repellant on the market today for the entire family. Family is skin sensitive and have a pregnant wife.
Any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.
Thank you all.

I wouldn't use ANY insect repellent at all. Try Avon's Skin So Soft. It repels insects. Don't use anything with Deet in it.

Avon skin-so-soft is excellent. Also you might try one of the new insect repellent "bugs". They attach to almost anything and emit a high-pitch sound to keep the insects away.

Make sure it doesn't contain DEET!!!
Repellent products must state any age restriction. If there is none, EPA has not required a restriction on the use of the product.
According to the label, oil of lemon eucalyptus products should NOT be used on CHILDREN UNDER 3 YEARS

Anything organic. I'm pregnant and have very fair skin and my husband had me use organic bug repellent when we all went camping. I was the only one of the 4 of us who had NO bites one me!

Anything without DEET... DEET causes birth defects in unborn babies and don't put it on children because my cousin got DEET posioning as a child and it paralyzed her (temporarly... only until after it got out of her system) and nearly killed her.
