This comes recommended as an insect repellant?

While Shea Butter and Cocoa Butter have been used to repel insects in African countries for many years, there is no clinical data that supports the efficacy of these ingredients for this use beyond anecdotal experiences. A recent study conducted by the USDA showed that fatty acids derived from coconut oil had long lasting insect repelling properties, and you may have seen recently that Palmer's users have touted experiencing these results. However please note that Palmer’s products have not been developed or tested for this benefit so we cannot verify efficacy around insect repellency.

what does this smell like?

I've been going crazy about why my hands smelled like garlic after showers. I thought it was my towels. Turns out it's the lotion!!!! Absolutely insane. Why and how can they make that smell anyways?!? I'm so happy I found this because these reviews are literally the only proof I have or I would've convinced myself of phantom smells.

How does it compare to palmer’s cocoa butter formula with vitamin e? is it more hydrating, moisturizing, etc.?

They are both similar in formula but different ingredients.

Is it normal for this to smell like sunblock?

No, none that I have had smelled like sun block.
