I've made three others so far, but I wanted to be sure to record the details on this one because I really like the way it smells and feels. Don't know how it works yet for repelling bugs, but will find out tomorrow as I am heading out to camp for the weekend with the family. Perfect timing! I'll also probably have many willing victims to test it all out on. Bwah ha ha!
So, here's the mix, as far as I can recall:
2 1/2 oz witch hazel
1 1/2 oz rubbing alcohol
1 tsp jojoba oil
Essential oils:
lavender- 2 droppersful
eucalyptus- 1 lg dropperful
bergamot- 20 drops
rosemary- 10 drops
cloves- 10 drops
pine needle- 10 drops
lemongrass- 20 drops
geranium- 15 drops
bay laurel- 15 drops
I have it in a spray bottle, and it needs to be shaken well before each application. It goes on with a slight oily feel, but dries smooth, non-greasy, but with a moisturized feel. Highly impressive!
