Ingredients & Supplies

Safety Information

  • Safety & Dilution: This blend was created at a 3% dilution. We recommend a small patch test to ensure there is no skin sensitivity. For asthmatics, we recommend gently smelling the caps of each oil before blending to ensure the oils do not cause a negative reaction.
  • Kid Safety: Safe for kids 10 and over.
  • Pet Safety: N/A
  • Shelf Life: This spray should be used w/in 3-6 mo due to the all-natural, preservative-free ingredients.
  • Application Method: Sprays

Directions

  1. 1. Add 1 fl-oz of Peppermint Hydrosol to the empty 4 fl-oz PET Spray Bottle.
  2. 2. Add the essential oils to the hydrosol.
  3. 3. Add 240 drops of Solubol to the hydrosol/oil mixture (Approx. 10 ml).
  4. 4. Fill the rest of the bottle with water up to the neck, cap the bottle, and shake to blend thoroughly.
  5. 5. Use throughout the day as needed. Spray often!
  6. 6. Note: We recommend using 4 drops of Solubol (Dispersant) for every drop of essential oil in your blend, to ensure proper dispersion of the oils into the water based portion of the blend. Shake your bug spray before each application to ensure the oils stay evenly blended.
  7. 7. If you want to increase the bug-fighting capabilities of this blend try including more peppermint hydrosol while reducing the amount of water. This will result in a higher concentration for your spray.

Hi, my name is Karen Williams. As a professional aromatherapist, I love to create amazing blends that inspire and promote a healthier lifestyle. I got my start many years ago as a registered nurse working in the hospital system. But along the way I knew something was missing. I wanted to help people more holistically. Then, I discovered essential oils, and my approach to life changed forever. Now, I’ve made it my mission to share what I’ve learned about aromatherapy with my friends, family, and the world. Because - life is so much better with health, happiness, and community.
