DIY Sunscreen

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup coconut oil 
  • 1/3 cup almond oil
  • 1/8 cup Beeswax
  • 1/8 cup Shea butter
  • 1/2 tsp Vitamin E 
  • Little under 1/4 cup Zinc oxide — THIS IS ADDED LAST 

Directions:

  1. Place glass bowl over pot of shallow, slightly simmering H2O. Melt all ingredients (except zinc oxide) completely, stir with a whisk to help it along.
  2. Carefully remove from stove and wipe down condensation on bowl (you do not want H2O getting into your product).
  3. Add zinc oxide. Slowly.
  4. Whisk, whisk, whisk (and whisk some more!) and then carefully pour into container of your choice.
  5. This will take a few minutes to set up. Just walk away and leave it alone to quietly set up.
