I've been overhauling my labels - did you notice? What do you think? As it turns out, converting to a laser printer and redesigning/writing my labels has been a HUGE undertaking, but I am on my way towards the end of the total revamp! The labels themselves are 100% recycled - both paper and package. The labels are 100% post consumer waste, and the package 35%. The labels are 2"x4", with colour, much larger print, directions for use, cautions and full common name and INCI ingredients. The new laser printed labels eliminate the need for plastic tape, too!

Eucalyptus (Lemon-Rose)
This eucalpytus oil has a strong and really fresh rosy-citronella-like odor and a sweet balsamic-floral dryout note. It's great for keeping bugs away, because it is loaded with citronellal. http://www.anarreshealth.ca/node/82
