Steps to Create Your Repellent:

1. Gently Warm the Baby Oil: Begin by lightly warming the baby oil in a container over low heat, ensuring it doesn’t reach boiling point.
2. Infuse with Cloves: Add the cloves to the warmed oil and allow the mixture to cool to room temperature, allowing the cloves to infuse the oil thoroughly.
3. Let It Rest: Transfer the cooled mixture into your dark glass dropper bottle and let it rest in a cool, dark place for 10 to 15 days. This duration ensures optimal infusion of the cloves into the oil.
4. Strain and Use: After the infusion period, strain the mixture to remove the cloves. Your homemade repellent is now ready to shield you from mosquitoes.

Tips for Optimal Use:

• Choose the Right Oil: Opt for fragrance-free baby oil for maximum effectiveness.
• Cloves Proportion: Adjust the number of cloves based on your preference, keeping in mind that both whole and ground cloves work.
• Enhancing Infusion: For a stronger repellent, gently heat the baby oil with cloves before the infusion process, then cool it down for use.
• Application: Apply the repellent to skin areas prone to insect bites, avoiding sensitive areas like the eyes and mouth.
• Reapply as Needed: Since it’s a natural solution, reapply every 1-2 hours, especially during prolonged outdoor activities.
