Hi Xylaria, are we allowed to ask what's in it? Or is it the stuff that was being tested a while back and you didn't want to give the game away? (Hope you don't mind me asking?) GB.
Thanks for that, I've a bunch of stuff to finish off before it goes off but maybe a bottle from you later with no citronella would be good, will give you a shout. Thanks again GB.The active ingriedents are high grade pine tar, citronella oil, lemon eucalyptus, with beeswax and sunflower oil to make it work. It is applied very sparingly. That is more information than wilmas tells you. We can make a batch without either of the essential oils if you have issues, but it will smell worse.
We have more products in the pipe line.
This is a really stupid question but Im gonna ask it anyway lol, is it just midges it repels? Or nasty little biting bugs in general?
We dont have a real problem with midges where I live but we do get a fair amount of little flying biting things and mozzies.
Also would it be ok for children?
My 3rd daughter suffers with a little bit of exzma now and again but its not bad.
Oh and well done you!!

Toddy, Dave 53, silverback and sycamour, your orders have now been posted.
It might get a try out at NorthWood on a very thin skinned, tasty-blooded turbogirl next meet... if it keeps them off, it'll be doing better than all the veets, avon skinsosoft and wilmas... gosh, I do hope they find it completely disgusting!!This is a really stupid question but Im gonna ask it anyway lol, is it just midges it repels? Or nasty little biting bugs in general?

I really don't like citronella, and I have the kind of skin that reacts badly to many of the chemicals in cosmetics, but this cream causes me no grief at all, the citronella smells like lemon without any acrid bite to it, and best of all, the cream stopped the midges biting![]()
I've ordered more

I openly admit I was a touch dubious about the Stupidly Simple stuff, but thought that if I couldn't use it then at least I could see to it that as many people as possible got a chance to try out the sample.......until my order arrives, they're no' getting it
Citronella candles give me a headache from hellbut Fi seems to have balanced this stuff so it's only the lemon that's noticeable

I was out last night digging up clay, making a wee bowl, down to the burn for water, taking photos, etc., etc., and I didn't get bitten once, and there were no shortages of midges around
If it works agin the clegs too, then that'd be a huge bonus.
Tell you what though; pm me an address and when my order gets here I'll post the sample pot to you to try. It's a lot cheaper than Wilma's and smells a lot better too, and it's not the stink of SSS from avon either. It's also more persistant than the Autan, so I haven't needed the multiple squirty bottles around the place.
atb,
