I have been reading about Roucou Oil and/or Annato Oil to use for natural skin protection and insect repellant. Are they available on the island?

Annato's being grown again, but as a commercial
crop in Jamaica, as a flavorant and colorant
exported for the food/cosmetic industry. Roucou or annato/achiote oil available to consumers is either from Tahiti (often mixed with Monoi oil) or from St.Barts -- La Ligne de St.Barths -- oil and sun tan/block lotions, available online
at cheaper prices than on that island, tho still a tad on the pricey side. Good stuff, btw.
