12. Acts as a Natural Bug Repellent

Summertime is a time for outdoor activities but what is a natural bug spray? Instead of going for expensive balms and repellents you can use the inherent physical characteristics of coconut oil to make your own home grown bug-repellent. To avoid getting bit by these pesky creatures, you can mix small amounts of coconut oil with tea-tree oil or rosemary oil or peppermint and apply the mixture on your skin to act as natural bug repellent.
