Gently Warm the Baby Oil: Begin by warming the baby oil in a container over low heat. Aim to heat it lightly without bringing it to a boil.
Infuse with Cloves: Add the cloves to the warmed oil, then let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Let It Rest: Transfer the cooled mixture into your dark glass dropper bottle and let it sit in a cool, dark place for about 10 to 15 days. This duration allows the cloves to thoroughly infuse the oil.
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 a fragrance-free baby oil to ensure effectiveness. The simpler the oil, the better.
