Author: Mama Z

  • 5 drops peppermint essential oil
  • 5 drops lavender essential oil
  • Carrier oil *

  • Add the peppermint and lavender essential oil to the glass roller bottle.
  • Fill the roller bottle the rest of the way with carrier oil, leaving enough room to replace the lid.
  • Replace the lid and shake until well blended.
  • To use, apply directly to bug bites.

Notes

*No matter what allergies you may have, there’s a carrier oil that’s right for you.   You can use any or a combination of these:   Avocado, Fractionated Coconut, Grapeseed, Jojoba, Sweet AlmondThe best carrier oils for this recipe are fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil because they absorb quickly and work the best. I always do half fractionated coconut oil and jojoba oil. These are our favorite carrier oils; to see a full list of options, click here.
