Homemade Sunscreen

​

 

Apply as often as needed to cover skin.  You will have to test it out to see how your skin does with this.  We are able to use it for a couple hours in the sun and get the protection we need!

 

1/2 C Olive Oil

1/2 C Raw Coconut Oil

1/4 C Beeswax Pastilles

2 Tbs Non-Nano Zinc Oxide

2 Tbs Organic Shea Butter

12+ drops of Helichrysum Essential Oil (We also added 5 drops of Lavender, 5 drops of Jasmine just to make it smell pretty!)

2 Tsp Carrot Seed Oil

​

Combine Olive Oil, EVCO, Beeswax and Shea Butter in a double boiler and stir until melted.  (It's going to get thick and sticky so use a whisk that you don't mind cleaning thoroughly or setting aside to use for projects like this!)

​

Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes.  Add Zinc, the essential oils, and Carrot Seed oil and stir well.  

​

Continue to stir occasionally as the mixture cools.  Transfer into your desired container!  Next time I'll put it in a squeezy condiment container so we can just squirt it onto our skin!
