My daughter is a mosquito magnet. We've barely seen any mosquitoes this year, but she still manages to come in at night covered in bites.

Bug Bite Relief Roller Bottle

Carrier Oil

I usually use fractionated coconut oil for my roller bottles. FCO is clear, odorless, and inexpensive.

I also like how most brands have a pump. This makes filling a small roller bottle a breeze without using a funnel.

Simply Earth also sells fractionated coconut oil. You can get fractionated coconut oil, Bumps and Boo Boos essential oil blend, plus a few roller bottles and get free shipping on orders over $29.

You can also use sweet almond oil or just about any carrier oil except solid coconut oil.

Neem oil would be an excellent addition to this roller bottle for bug bites since it has some analgesic properties. I would dilute it with another oil and use 25 to 50 percent neem oil.

You can learn more about the different types of carrier oils and their benefits in my book, Carrier Oils.
