Protect Your Skin with DIY Sunscreen
My beautiful grandmother was just diagnosed with Malignant Melanoma, and in honor of her fight to beat this cancer, I wanted to focus on sunscreen! The best prevention for all skin cancers and aging is sunscreen. As we become more conscientious of what we put on our body, let me give you a DIY Sunscreen recipe made with all homeopathic ingredients that also makes great gifts this summer for those you love!
This recipe has 20 SPF, to increase the SPF, increase the Zinc Oxide
Ultra Moisturizing Natural Sunscreen (by doTerra)
Ingredients:
- 1/2 C. Olive Oil
- 1/4 C. Fractionated Coconut Oil
- 1/4 C. Beeswax
- 2 Tbsp. Zinc Oxide
- 1 tsp. Vitamin E Oil
- 2 Tbsp. Shea Butter
- 12 drops Helichrysum essential oil
Directions:
Add everything except zinc oxide in a medium sized glass mixing bowl. Fill a medium saucepan with a few inches of water and place over medium heat. Place glass bowl on top of the saucepan so the saucepan is cradling the bowl. As the ingredients start to melt, stir occasionally to mix. When all ingredients are completely incorporated, add the zinc oxide and stir well to mix. Pour into a pint sized tin or mason jar and store in a cool place. It will last for 6 months.
