Natural Mosquito Repellent
There are a couple of different formulations you can use for your natural mosquito repellent. In general, what you are doing is diluting an essential oil that the mosquitoes find distasteful or which confuses them so they can't find you to bite you. The oils don't mix with water, so you'll need to add them to other oils or to alcohol. It's important to use an oil or alcohol that is safe for your skin. The oils are potent and could cause skin irritation or another reaction if you use too much.
Ingredients
If you are making large amounts of mosquito repellent, a good rule of thumb is to mix the repellent so it's 5-10% essential oil. That means you should mix one part essential oil with 10-20 parts carrier oil or alcohol. For a smaller batch use:
• 10-25 drops (total) of essential oils
• 2 tablespoons of a carrier oil or alcohol
The essential oils that work well against mosquitoes are:
• cinnamon oil
• lemon eucalyptus oil
• citronella oil
• castor oil
Safe carrier oils and alcohols include:
• olive oil
• sunflower oil
• any other cooking oil
• witch hazel
• vodka
Directions
Mix the essential oil with the carrier oil or alcohol. Rub or spray the natural insect repellent onto skin or clothing, using care to avoid the sensitive eye area. It may be stored in a dark bottle, away from heat or sunlight.
Protect yourself from mosquito spread diseases.
It is one of the good business ideas for start up.
