Citronella Insect Repellent Body Balm

Mosquitoes were horrible this fall and your product realy worked

I like the smell and it feels good on my skin. It does a fair job of keeping the mosquitos off me while I work in the garden.

Works to repel bugs. Skin is soft after use.

While this balm has a long-lasting scent, and I appreciate the lack of harmful chemicals, it is lacking a bit in terms of its effectiveness. Perhaps it's because the scent is quite faint, or maybe it's because there is a very small amount to go around available here, but I did not find that applying this curbed the onslaught of mosquitoes.

I'm always a little on the fence about how well citronella really repels mosquitos especially when you've only got maybe a band on one arm or a candle burning on one side of you etc. This is kind of nice that you can spread it over all of your exposed skin, directly where it needs to do the repelling, sort of like a bug spray but without getting it all over your clothes etc. It makes it easy to tell if it's working or not too. As far as I could tell, when I used it while stargazing, I didn't notice any mosquitos on areas I had rubbed this in so I guess that's about all I could ask for.I do wish it was a little cheaper for the size, but I'm hoping in the long run this will last for roughly the same number of "uses" as maybe two cans of bug spray would. I'm not sure if it can stretch that far or not yet.
