The Essential oils chosen for this blend are very high in citronellal and citrinellol, the chemical constituent behind citronella. Ironically, Eucalyptus citriodora has 2-3 times the amount and has been used since 1940 as an insecticide and Geranium has 2 times as much.
1,8 cineol in Eucalyptus globulus has strong repellant properties as studied and emphasized in this research article (swipe) and lemon grass, also a well known repellent.
The above oils create this blend along with a little Fractionated Coconut Oil to moisturize and carry the oil and is mixed/emulsified in alcohol to be used as a spray.
Tested and works great!
Apply evenly and thoroughly, reapply as needed.
Note: Essential Oils are volatile oils, meaning they evaporate (vapour). This is what makes them effective whether diffusing, wearing as a perfume or using as a repellent and because of this you may need to reapply every 60 minutes or so.
WE STUDY THE RESEARCH to create the most effective blends!
Includes: Distilled water, Alcohol, Fractionated Coconut Oil, Lemon Eucalyptus, Geranium, Lemongrass and Eucalyptus Globulus.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are your Oils 100% Pure?
Yes, all of my Essential Oils are 100% pure with no additives. Listings will state clearly if the oil is a blend.
Does my order come with tracking?
With our Free Shipping offer Canadian orders do NOT come with a trackable number. Please purchase our shipping upgrade for $9.95 Canadian for tracking. Please note that we use a third party shipping carrier and your order will leave into the US and travel back within Canada. It sounds crazy but it allows us to offer Free Shipping to Canadians.
US and International orders come with tracking and can be found on your Etsy receipt.
