Hiya Lisa, Following is from an old post I had saved:
I posted the use of a simple solution of vitamin c (l-ascorbic acid powder) in water, sprayed on the skin a while back... its not quite as convenient as the chemical lotions, because it washes off easily and you need to reapply it regularly - but it is quite effective if you do that. The ratio isn't too critical - I never measure it, just put a couple of Tablespoons in a 16 ounce spray bottle and shake it up until it is completely dissolved... Hope this helps!

Hi All, I'm looking to create a natural sunscreen cream for my kids on those days that they're out in the sun all day. I do know how important it is for them to get some sun in order to keep their Vit D stores up: however, with TBall and beaches etc., I'd like to get them protected with something that's not full of gunk. Anybody? Thanks in advance. Lisa
