    They don't like the smell of Geranium either!!! I happen to not like the smell of Citronella either, yuk! That is how I got started in skin care, funny though it may seem. I hated all the products that I used on my horses! Everything smelt like Citronella or some other funky smell. So I designed a line of shampoos, conditioners and fly sprays for them. Then I went further and started studying human skin care. For a year I did nothing but study everything I could get my hands on. A few months after that, Painted Pony Skin Care was made. It has been a slow growing project locally for a year, Our next plan in late summer will be to launch an online store. Keep your fingers crossed I do as well online as I've done locally!!!

    Love the cricket sound effect. That was awesome. It made the video even better.

    Made strong citronella candles inside my home ONCE. Will never happen again. Candle making on the back porch. When those orders come in.

    I just ordered Skin So Softly (type) Fragrance Oil? Do you know if it will work? I thought Avon had something to keep mosquitos away.

    amazon has igi 1237, would that be a good option? and what the are the mix ratios in fragrance?

  • @beccakoenig3348
    @beccakoenig3348 Před 2 lety

    I read research that indicates citronella is only 17% effective against mosquitos., Any thoughts on that?

  • @marlaheiman2387
    @marlaheiman2387 Před 5 lety

    Since this is going to be an outside candle do I have to use the additives suggested to be used with the IGI 1230?

  • @MasterHellcat666

    Can one use citronella oil as fragrance in a candle? The Off brand is 175 flash point.

    Hello nubie here. Love it. Can you please list the exact wax you used, Im so glad you mentioned not to use soy wax 🤦🏻‍♀️ty

  • @laurieguzman5577
    @laurieguzman5577 Před 5 lety

    Awesome video! Do you have to use two wicks for those size pots for the candle to be effective? Or did you choose to use two wicks because you wanted enough heat/fragrance to ward them nasty blood sucking insects? Just curious. Sorry so long..

  • @rmmas9335
    @rmmas9335 Před 3 lety

    Also did you have to add the vybar 260 for this wax?

  • @laken1804
