Repellent for Children, Adults, and Animals

Ingredients

• 95 ml grapeseed oil
• 5 ml neem oil
• 4 drops cedar essential oil
• 4 drops lavender essential oil
• 2 drops rosemary essential oil

Recommended packaging

• Glass roll-on bottle with black lid

Method

1. Prepare a clean 100 ml bottle, ideally made of dark glass to protect the oils from light.
2. Measure and pour in the grapeseed oil, which serves as the carrier base.
3. Add the neem oil. If it has solidified due to the cold, warm it briefly or soften it between your palms.
4. Carefully add the cedar, lavender and rosemary essential oils drop by drop.
5. Close the bottle and gently shake it to combine all ingredients thoroughly.

Application and safety

Shake the mixture briefly before each use. When applying it to children, apply the oil primarily to the legs or behind the neck. Avoid the area around the mouth; although accidental contact is not dangerous, swallowing a larger amount could cause nausea.

Tip: This recipe is also suitable for dogs over 25 kg. Apply the oil only to the back or behind the neck, where the animal cannot lick it.

Function of the individual ingredients

• Grapeseed oil: A light and stable base that absorbs quickly and does not leave a greasy film.
• Neem oil: The key ingredient with a distinctive aroma, valued for its natural insect-repellent properties.
• Essential oils: The combination of cedar, lavender and rosemary creates an effective barrier and gives the repellent a pleasant fragrance.
