Homemade Sunscreen

Now the summer seems to be here for the foreseeable future at least you’ll need to be equipped with some sun protection.  Many shop bought sunscreens can cause more harm than good

Vitamin D is essential to our wellbeing and the best source of vitamin D is the sun, so we should all try to get a good helping of sun every day (whilst it’s here anyway). However too much sun can burn us and leave us at risk of skin cancer.  Sunscreen can help prevent the sun from burning us but did you know that many sunscreens can be disruptive to hormones, cause UV radiation and when exposed to sunlight can promote the growth of skin tumors amongst other things. If you are planning to spend any time in the sun then you could making your own sun cream.  Here’s a recipe below which will give you a SPF of approx 20 but if you want higher then you can add more zinc oxide:

60ml Almond or Olive oil
60ml Coconut oil
60g Beeswax
30ml Pure Zinc Oxide
30ml Aloe Vera gel
5ml Vitamin E oil
5ml Coconut Extract

Put the almond oil, coconut milk and beeswax in a bain marie (in a bowl over a pan of simmering water) until the beeswax has melted.  Add the rest of the ingredients being careful not to inhale the zinc oxide and either put in a blender or whisk by hand until all the ingredients are completely mixed together.
