What Youll Need: 1 1/2 oz beeswax 1 1/2 oz of aloe butter 1 1/2 oz of cocoa butter 2 oz of sweet almond oil 3-4 drops of vitamin E oil 5 to 10 drops of one of the following oils: citronella cedarwood eucalyptus geranium lemongrass sandalwood soap mold, or plastic or glass container to use as a mold You will also need a double boiler, or two different size pans so you can put water in the base pan, and another inside it to melt the waxes and butters. How to make the bug repellent bar: Put the beeswax, aloe butter, almond oil, and cocoa butter in the top of a double boiler over heat to melt them together. Make sure you have a little water in the bottom pan. When the waxes and butters have melted remove them from the heat. Mix in the vitamin E and the essential oil you chose.

Pour the mixture into soap molds and let it cool. When you need to repel insects just rub the bar over the exposed areas of your skin before you go outdoors. If you have a difficult time locating any of the items listed here, try a whole foods, or natural health store. Most of these items can also be found through online retailers.
