If you’re planning to spend time enjoying the great outdoors this summer, be bug-free with this easy, all-natural DIY bug repellent featuring our 100% pure Fresh to Market Essential Oils!

Ingredients:

4 ounces distilled or boiled water, room temperature
3¾ ounces natural witch hazel
25-50 drops of Fresh to Market Essential Oils (choose 1-2 from Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Clove Bud, Lavender and Cinnamon Leaf)

Preparation:

Fill an 8-ounce spray bottle halfway with water. Add witch hazel, then top off with your choice of essential oils.

Keep in mind that the more oils you use, the stronger the spray will be.
