In a glass spray bottle, combine the essential oils.
Add the vodka or rubbing alcohol and shake well to combine.
Pour in the witch hazel and shake again to combine.
Add the vegetable glycerin if using. It isn’t necessary, but it does help everything stay combined.
Add the water and shake again.
Shake before each use as the oils and water will naturally separate over time.
Notes
How to Use: I keep a bottle of this bug spray by the back door for easy application. I also pack one in our first aid kit when camping or hiking. I find it’s also handy to carry this homemade anti-itch cream in case of the random bug bite!
