[Stoves] Orange Peels

[Bojca Januš]

Hi, Kevin

as far as I know, the best home made mosquito repellent is made from these
organic essential oils:

   - 20 drops essential oil Basil
   - 30 drops essential oil Lemongrass or Citronella
   - 10 drops esential oil Eucalyptus
   - 100 ml basic oil Jojoba

Hope this helps!

Best,
Bojca
