I make my own. It's so easy. Witch hazel and an essential oil blend. I can send to you if you want?

i just saw a list of all the things you can do with coconut oil...

this is bug repellant - mix coconut oil with peppermint oil extract and rub it all over exposed skin. Keeps insects off better than anything with DEET! Tons safer too.

I'd love to know too. Mosquitos love dd and i. I'm super allergic as they blow up. Ddc is look like she'll have the same issue. Hoping ds isn't bothered

Badger and Babyganics. Used Badger in Costa Rica and DD didn't get bit once. Neither did I for that matter.

I like badger products but don't support babyganics. They've been accused of "green washing".

Sent FMs again!

To those who want to know where to buy both whole foods and wild by nature carry organic aura cacia brand oils. They're good oils but not my favorite. I love oils from natures gift but that needs to be ordered online via their website. Quality is great and their pricing is great.

There are two very popular MLM companies. Young living and doTerra. Both have similar pricing and reputation. But as theyre in competition they try to trash each other and claim they're "therapeutic grade only" however jokes on them as a therapeutic grade oil doesn't exist! There are no government marketing a or independent testing, EO are not regulated by the government so claims to be the most pure are just that.

You can only buy these oils from someone who sells them. Like younique or roden fields, be wary of people selling as they are NOT certified aromatherapists and may tell you mis information. If you're interested follow a large Facebook group called using essential oils safely. You can ask questions there.

However I do use young living oils bc I do like their quality, they're more expensive and the way I buy is I signed up to be a distributer so I got an introductory kit and diffuser for 150. It introduced me to the oils and was a great sampler pack. Because I am a distributer I can now buy the oils for myself on my own and receive the discount. I do not sell the products and believe there are many good brands out there.

HTH!
