Easy Natural Sunscreen
How toxic is your sunscreen? Many ingredients in conventional sunblock are known to mess with your hormones. I have an easy DIY recipe for making your own natural sunscreen!
Servings 2 small jars
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup organic coconut oil I get mine at Costco
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 1/4 cup organic beeswax
- 1 tsp carrot seed oil optional
- 20 drops lavender essential oil
- 4 tbsp non-nano zinc oxide nano zinc oxide can be dangerous because it's small enough to absorb into the bloodstream
Instructions
- Over low heat, melt together the coconut oil, shea butter, and beeswax. Keep stirring it as it melts.
- Once it's all melted together, remove it from the heat and add the zinc oxide and essential oils.
- Stir it until it's well blended, and transfer it to a few small glass jars to cool.
