I haven't tried this one but saved it to make this year. It was a post from a friend.
Here is my recipe for homemade sunscreen: Lotion: 48 g liquid oil (can use olive, sweet almond, etc) 52 g coconut oil 20 g emulsifying wax (to mix water and oil) 10 g stearic acid (to thicken) 380 g water 10 g vegetable glycerine 35 g zinc oxide Heat first 4 ingredients in a double boiler until incorporated. Then, with a hand blender, mix oil mixture into water until creamy and thickened. Add glycerine and zinc with blender. You can also add essential oils of your choice for fragrance (about 5 g for this recipe). www.SoapGoods.com had all the supplies. If you have a favorite lotion, just use that and add 25% zinc oxide to the bottle- it's that easy! ( for an 8oz bottle, that would be 2 oz zinc oxide) ----- Original Message ----- From: Lisa To: Lisa Sent: Monday, May 24, 2010 7:12 PM Subject: CS>Any recipes for a natural sunscreen cream? 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 _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail has tools for the New Busy.
