Insect Repellant Recipe - anyone???
I would like to make an insect repellant recipe for us to use while gardening, I am thinking a simple oil or salve.
Can anyone help??
I have neem, citronella, lavender, rosemary and a few other essential oils & carrier oils on hand that need to be used.
Would love some tried & true advice before I start blending 
Thank you!!!
I think essential oils in a base of white clay are best used as an insect repellent during the summer heat. Outside in the dirt and the humidity covered in oil can be a bummer. Citronella and Eucalyptus citriodora are effective. Bay laurel, Litsea cubeba and terebinth are good too. You can use hydrosols as well. They will feel great outside in the heat. They are inexpensive and you can add some essential oils to make them more repellent. You should keep in mind that you don't really want to treat yourself with these essential oils, you aren't going for any transdermal absorption here. You want them to remain on the skin and act as a barrier.
