is tough to imagine a day out on forest camping and the beach without carrying
insect repellents along with you. Sadly, the majority of the efficient insect
repellants is composed of chemical ingredients which can cause harmful side

different kinds of side effects.

lipids. First of all, you have to test the solution slightly on your skin.

evaporating.

you are pregnant or a nurse, you should consult a medical practitioner before
utilizing the aromatherapy based oils. There are some vital oils and insects
that effectively repel as mosquito insect repellent. Some of the essential oils
like cinnamon oil, rose geranium, citronella oil, castor oil, lemon eucalyptus
