Melt the coconut oil in a water bath. For this you need a metal bowl or a small pot and a saucepan. Pour water into the saucepan and heat it. Add the coconut oil to the second pot (or bowl) and place it in the pot.
100 ml organic coconut oil
The oil starts to become liquid already at 25 degrees. Caution: The oil must not be exposed to intense heat.

Once it becomes liquid, add the neem oil. Now add the lavender essential oil.
15 drops lavender oil
Mix the ingredients carefully. Pour it into a cream jar and let it set. Your mosquito repellent is ready!
Notes
Always fill the anti-mosquito oil in a jar and not in a bottle with a thin neck, because you simply can't use it without heating it.In summer, the oil is usually liquid even without warming up. So make sure you have a very tight screw cap to prevent your DIY cream from leaking!
