A good mozzie repellent is 3 drops bergamot, 4 drops geranium and 3 drops peppermint mixed in a carrier oil, this is also safe for the kiddies. The oil amount should be about 20mls. You'll find being an oil a little will go a long way. if you do get stung 4 drops of basil, 3 drops chamomile and 3 drops geranuim will help with the itching and swelling, again in a carrier oil. Make sure you buy a high quality essential oils if it seems too cheap to be true it's probably already added with oils so it won't be affective. You'll probably find the body shop products are not a high grade oil. yes they are not tested on animals but their products aren't the best out there. Sorry if I've upset anyone this is just my own opinion.
