Thank you Bobzchemist for the heads up. I researched the EPA requirements and the ingredients I’m using have been approved and deemed safe by the EPA.

Thank you Perry. That was excellent info in that study you provided the link for. My repellent spray will have the lemon eucalyptus oil in it but you say the witch hazel should not be part of a bug repellent solution? I wonder if the witch hazel and vodka/denatured ethanol is supposed to allow the mixture to spray out of a spray bottle in a finer mist? What would you suggest to use? This is a product I’m making for a friend in Puerto Rico who’s going to sell it down there. Mosquitos are a massive problem at the resort where he’s a manager. Thank you!

I’m getting confused the more I research. I hear vodka is good for skin but denatured ethanol can be harmful? The percentage of the alcohol in this recipe would be roughly 2-5%. I wonder if I even need alcohol. The recipe calls for witch hazel, a carrier oil (im using grapeseed), lemon eucalyptus essential oil and a 1/4 teaspoon of vodka.
