Essential Oil Bug Spray

Essential oils are great for helping repel mosquitoes and other pesky bugs in the Summer months. Here’s a quick and easy way to make your own all-natural bug repellent. I make this for Molly because she has a severe and painful reaction to bug bites! Make sure you’re careful when spraying near your face and keep away from your eyes. Give it a try! And don’t forget, if you already have bug bites, our Sea Buckthorn Balm helps relieve the redness and itching.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 1 tsp. Carrier Oil (like Avocado Oil or Almond Oil)
  • 20 drops Citronella Essential Oil
  • 20 drops Lavender Essential Oil
  • 10 drops Peppermint Essential Oil
  • 10 drops Tea Tree Essential Oil
  • 10 drops Rosemary Essential Oil
  • 2 oz. Distilled Water
  • 1 oz. Witch Hazel
  • Spray Bottle (4 oz. capacity)

What to do:

Mix all ingredients together and pour into spray bottle. Spray as needed on body. Use caution on face and around eyes.
