mosquito/tick repellent?

MamaSam · 03-27-2015, 08:03 AM

I thought I'd posted about this before,but didn't find anything with a search.
I'm thinking of making my own(I'd have to buy oils) or buying badger balm or chagrin valley...what do you use?My only problem with the chagrin valley stuff is that it contains Neem oil..that is a VERY strong smell to me

I need something okay to use on a 2 year old.I'll probably just apply to bottoms of pants..

I use Young Living's Purification blend in ACV sprayed on the bottoms of pants for ticks. Not sure about mosquitoes, though. For that we rely on Sallyeander's No Bite Me salve.

I use YL's Purification, as well. It is currently OOS, though. I've put Citronella, Melrose and Myrtle in my next order to mix with the Lemongrass I already have. I think that should do it.
