"Is Citronella EO safe to use in a bug spray for babies and children? If so, what's the recommended usage ratio/percentage? Is there a different percentage recommended for adults? Thinking of making a spray with a combination of EOs to still smell nice while repelling bugs but want it to be baby/child safe. Thanks!"

"Citronella EO-great for summer"

COMMENTS: The citronella EO is awesome in my cold processed soap. It did not cause it to trace fast nor did it color the soap. I use unrefined coconut oil, I know for me, this did make a difference in how my soaps traced. Will be buying this again this summer. I also paired this with eucalyptus for a clean scent.

COMMENTS: Ordered this EO on a whim. It arrived promptly, intact, and properly packaged so there were no leakages. I was quite surprised at the level of care which went into shipping the bottles. The smell is amazing and it reminds me of the air after a summer rain. Clean, fresh, and completely inviting. Not overpowering at all. I will will purchase again.

	"Bug Repellent"
COMMENTS: I used citronella, combined with smaller parts of eucalyptus and tea tree oil, in cold process soap. It's still on the curing rack, and the scent is very strong. In a couple of weeks, we'll be able to test it out. We're hoping to use this soap on days when we plan to outside, so that it will keep the mosquitoes away. One thing I've learned already . . . a little of this goes a long way.

"Smells great, but be careful when using"

COMMENTS: I purchased this EO to use in a natural homemade bug spray. Apparently, I am one of the few allergic to Citronella. This product gave me hives all over my body. Just an fyi, when using this, be careful if you intend on selling anything that contains Citronella in it to be used on the body. I had no idea that this would react on me like it did. The smell is great, but I think I would think twice about putting this in a product.

"Awesome EO"

COMMENTS: I used this EO in my Specialty Pet Soaps and it does wonders! As a natural bug repellent it is perfect for my pets, as well as any other pet who lives in the countryside. The scent that carries over isn't a super strong scent, which I am thankful for, because citronella can get too strong and overwhelming. A little does go a long way but in the end add a wonderful aroma to the soap and your pet!

"Bug Off Spray"

COMMENTS: This oil is excellent to use as a bug repellant. I use it, along, with tea tree and lavender EO, in my All Natural Bug Off Spray and soy candles and it works fabulously to repel ticks, chiggers, mosquitoes and sweat bees. If you need to know what percentage to use in your product, WSP provides that information for each oil under- neath the section entitled "Documents". As a result, you do not have to concern yourself with mistakenly adding too much or too little of the oil to your products. You get it exactly right.

	"Excellent"
COMMENTS: This worked very nicely in a natural bug balm that I made using olive oil, beeswax and several other EOs. It is not harsh or chemically and it does repel bugs for quite a while.

"Great for outdoors"

COMMENTS: I made cold process soap with this essential oil. I like the smell, but I know some people think it is too strong by itself or just do not like it. For the last batch I made, I used just citronella and no other fragrance with it. This soap is really good with keeping mosquitoes away. Apparently, mosquitoes do not like the fragrance. I have been told that some people can wash themselves with this soap and the remaining fragrance is strong enough to keep away the pests. However, what I do is when I go for a walk at night, the mosquitoes come out about 7pm. To avoid being bitten, because the mosquitoes always find me, I rub the soap onto my skin on my arms, legs, neck and other exposed areas and go for my walk. when I get back, since it typically is so hot, I take a shower and wash the soap off the skin. In the meantime, the mosquitoes did not bother me. I have been told that some people will shred off pieces of citronella soap and put them in their pockets and that does the trick for them.
