Are bears attracted to scented body products like lotion, shampoo, and deodorant?

I am going camping soon in bear territory in Northern California. I have heard that bears are attracted to scented lotions and shampoo. I am really into bath and body work, so most of the body and hair products I use are very organic and smell like the real thing. Like any other camper I do not want to be attacked by a bear.Are bears attracted to scented body products like lotion, shampoo, and deodorant?
Yes, that's true. I remember clearly when I went camping up to Palomar Mountains in Southern CA that we were told to try and use fragrance-free products because bears are attracted to the faintest smell of shampoo. They're also attracted to sweet smells, so don't let candy laying around.Are bears attracted to scented body products like lotion, shampoo, and deodorant?
Oh yes, they even have their own brand :-)

Also I guess they like mascara and lipstick :-)
Bears will absolutely be attracted to anything of that sort. Keep it out of your tent!
to repel bears you must use salmon oil, it works like a charm, just rub it all over you make sure the smell its all over
yea.


be safe and bring scentless stuff.
