Need an air horn too. Bears have to be within 10’ for bear spray to be effective. Ten feet? I would have cardiac arrest before the charging bear got within 20’.

The baby shampoo is to make the bears have a nice spa experience.
And to deaden the ick human taste.
It's more like 7-10 yards. You are definitely going to have some adrenaline on board.
Bear bells absolutely work too. I have seen drone footage of a bear walking up a trail, hearing bells from 1/2 mile away, leaving the trail until the people pass, then going back to it's business.
