3 Ingredient Sunscreen

Homemade Sunscreen Ingredients:

4 oz of your favorite non-toxic lotion (I prefer the lotion from Bend Soap Company while my husband likes Aveeno)
.8 oz zinc oxide for about 20 SPF (about 1 Tbsp + 2 tsp)
12 drops carrot seed oil (scant ¼ tsp)

Optional Ingredients:

12 drops raspberry seed oil
2 Tbsp jojoba oil or sweet almond oil
1-2 tsp cocoa powder

Measure lotion into a small bowl. Add the zinc oxide, oil(s) and any other optional ingredients as needed and mix well.

Store in a glass jar or in a squeezable tube like this one. This recipe makes about 1/2 cup. Multiply as needed to make as much as you need.

Homemade Waterproof Sunscreen:

1 oz beeswax pellets (about 2 Tbsp)
4 oz of your favorite non-toxic lotion
.8 oz zinc oxide for about 20 SPF (rounded 3/4 Tbsp)
12 drops carrot seed oil (scant ¼ tsp)

Optional Ingredients

12 drops raspberry seed oil** (scant ¼ tsp)
2 Tbsp jojoba oil or sweet almond oil
1/2-2 tsp cocoa powder

Make a double boiler by placing a glass or metal bowl over a pan of boiling water. Measure beeswax and allow to melt.

Remove the melted wax from the heat and let it cool just slightly. Add the lotion and zinc oxide and stir until it’s completely incorporated.

Add the essential oils and any other optional ingredients as needed and stir well. Allow to cool before using. Although I really like using these squeezable tubes at the pool, homemade waterproof sunscreen is easier to clean out of glass jars.

PLEASE NOTE: use discernment by wearing hats, go under shade etc... these are not as powerful as store bought ones - however they're chemical free and allergy free.
