Natural bug repellent

Return to Discussions

This for all of us who love the outdoors, & don't care for biting bugs. Carrier oils - coconut oil (fractionated or virgin), sweet almond oil, blackseed oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, & jojoba oil. These are the top recommended carrier oils to use when mixing with essential oils.
Bug repelling essential oils: catnip oil, clove oil, eucalyptus oil, geranium oil, lemon oil, lavender oil, lemongrass oil, peppermint oil, rosemary oil, & thyme oil.
Mix 1/2 cup of carrier oil with 10-15 drops of two or more essential oils (recommended). When you use two or more essential oils in your natural bug repellent, it last twice as long as an bug repellent made with one essential oil. Experiment to see what combinations & how much essential oil drops you need for what you like.
enjoy a bug free & nude summer.

I'm assuming you bottle it and then just slather the stuff on your skin from head to toe? Is there some way to dilute it so you can put it in a pump spray bottle and spray it on?

I use Skin so soft made by Avon which works but only for a small amount of time.
Every fisherman I know (nudist or not) keeps a bottle of that stuff in their tacklebox. It's great stuff. And gives a whole new meaning to "smelling like a fisherman". lol!
