A lady said below, that both EU eucalyptus and EU thyme would be effective against mosquitoes and ticks and that you can use about 1% eucalyptus citronate, thyme about 0.2%. Do you eliminate the EU or can they be added to the above recipe?

Hello. I've read how EU eucalyptus and EU thyme would be effective against mosquitoes and ticks. Can you suggest me in what quantities to incorporate them to this recipe? Thank you very much!

you can replace it with grapefruit pit extract and then you don't need the rosemary extract and you also benefit from its antibacterial and antifungal properties. since in this shop the grapefruit pit extract is very concentrated, it is enough at the quantity in which the rosemary extract is listed in the original recipe, namely 9 -10 drops per 100 ml solution.

correction: to 400 ml water, 15 drops of tea tree essential oil + 15 drops of lavender oil. sorry, it was early in the morning and I pressed the keys quickly. you would also need a spray bottle with a capacity of about 500 ml, like the one used at the hairdresser.

Hello, Luminița. This oil can be used for children over the age of 3, but we suggest that you do a test on a small patch of skin beforehand and watch for any unpleasant reactions until the next day.
