Homemade Sunscreen
Ingredients:
½ cup of 100% pure aloe (preferably organic) – it should be globby, like it came fresh out of the plant.
20 drops carrot seed oil OR raspberry seed oil – (raspberry seed oil has a higher SPF if that is what you are looking for)
5 tbsp coconut oil
3 capsules of Vitamin E oil (break open the capsules) or hemp seed oil (2 tbsp)
5 drops of Lavender oil
2 Tablespoons Zinc Oxide (purchase a non-nano version that won’t be absorbed into the skin. Be careful not to inhale the powder). This makes a natural SPF of 20+ or more can be added.)
Make sure not to inhale the Zinc Oxide- use a mask if necessary!
NOTE: Please omit zinc oxide from the recipe to make a truly natural and toxic free version of this sunscreen, especially during preparation. Zinc oxide can affect the lungs and reproductive system if inhaled. Replace the zinc oxide with 1 tablespoon of avocado oil which helps increase the sun protection factor (SPF).
