RE: Homemade, non-toxic Sunscreen! (OR diaper ointment!) It's EASY!

in #homemade7 years ago

This is awesome! We made our own sunscreen when we lived on a boat because we used it all the time. We used shea butter instead of beeswax, though.

Great post, photos and simple how to!

Thank you very much!
Yeah, there are lots of combinations that would work, as long as you are getting coated with the zinc, its all good. :D Im thinking about using lard next time I make a batch. I have discovered that lard-based lotion is WONDERFUL for your skin! I have made with different oils, and the lard lotion is more moisturizing, they say because the fatty acids in the lard are closer to what is naturally produced by our bodies, so your skin can use it more effeciently.
