Homemade sunscreen
Ingredients:
-1/2 cup almond oil (natural SPF of 5) or avocado or olive oil -2 tablespoons shea butter(natural SPF of 5) -1/4 cup coconut oil (natural SPF of 4) -2 Tablespoons zinc oxide (non-nano non-GMO, natural SPF of 20+) -10 drops carrot seed essential oil (natural SPF of 30-40) -10 drops myrrh essential oil -25 drops lavender essential oil -10 drops vanilla extract (optional)
Combine all ingredients except zinc oxide in a pint-size or larger glass jar.
Fill a medium saucepan about 1/3 of the way with water and place over medium heat.
Stir occasionally to incorporate ingredients.
When all ingredients are completely melted, add the zinc oxide, stir in well. Pour into the jar, tube or tin you will use for storage. I like to use these squeeze tubes or these 4 oz glass jars.
Shake or stir a few times as it cools to make sure zinc oxide is mixed in well.
