"Not a question. This recipe is great! I ran out of bees wax and remade with candelila wax at half the amount. It goes on super easy and absorbs quickly so doesnt feel greasy. Being pregnant I had to make amendments to the essential oil blend. Rosemary and peppermint are not recommended during early pregnancy. Some good substitutes are citronella, lavender and tea tree, all of which also repell mosquitoes."
