Thanks for the information. I use carrot seed oil in a lot of my face products didn't realize it had SPF of 30 that's a bonus. Thank you...
Excellent, thank you! 🙏🏻
Very interesting have never tried this but I am thinking of making some up for burns should be very helpful. When I was welding if one of us got burned we would put oil on them as soon as it happened and there would be very little pain
this is great!
This is great so much better than expensive and toxic commercial sun lotions.
wow that's great .
shelf life without refrigeration?
Thanks! Do you keep the sunscreen bars in the fridge or room temp. Also do you still use this recipe?
hello
please i want to know how long does it takes to expire
and can i store it in my room or the fridge is a must ???
real nice!
@traditionalliving why not avocado over coconut ?
Is this broad-spectrum? UVA/UVB?
How much bees wax do you use?
whats the total spf of this sunscreen?
Hello,I am wondering since zinc is known not able to be absorbed the
skin,wouldn't the combination of the shea butter and coconut oil mixed
with the zinc make it possible to be carried into the skin because of
they both are acts as moisturizers?
Thanks,
Hank
Hi, late reply coz just found this in 2021. We have three layers of skin, organic oils Shea butter ect go deep into the dermis but the zinc dosent penetrate that deep, it's stayed on the top layer. 🙂
How do you really know for sure how much SPF are in these oils? They seem to vary in different articles that I've read which has made me leery of using them in full assurance that they really do protect.
1Tbsp Zinc Oxide = SPF 10
2Tbsp Zinc Oxide = SPF20
And so on
you prolly dont give a shit but if you guys are stoned like me atm you can watch all the latest series on instaflixxer. I've been streaming with my girlfriend lately =)
@Adrien Madden Yea, been watching on instaflixxer for years myself :D
carrot oil is 5 spf
I was just wondering what would happen if a child was to swallow it? would it be detrimental to their health? what would you do?
Why not avocado over Coconut ?
I just use shea butter on it's own and it's lush. It leaves me with beautiful soft glowing skin 🌞...u can see my latest video about it. 😄
How to make sunscreen for oily skin at home?
There is no documented study showing that carrot seed oil has spf 30. I couldn't find any reliable study anywhere on this. Buyers beware.
What about storing the sunscreen bars in a jar would they melt in a warm to hot climate?
good point. they will be fine at room temperature but if you're concerned about hot weather outside I'd add more beeswax or cocoa butter. it will definitely melt quite a bit if left out in a hot car. Or make sure to use airtight container
Could you add an extract to make it bug repellant also?
you could add neem oil or garlic oil
Lavender and/or lemongrass essential oil
Can you tell me where to buy zinc oxide? thank you
Amazon.com
When I was young I put baby oil on me and I burned n looked like a tomato, also if I don’t wash my Massage relaxation blend off in the morning I actually burn a bit on my arms, if your not adding water to the jar one then it’s a body butter not a lotion
Natasha Green yeah, we used baby oil and iodine to sun tan in the 80s. Lol Prob not a safe activity. Def burned the first time, tanned after that. Baby oil is a def no no
Lol
K Mundwiller I never said anything about the 80’s, this recipe doesn’t work, it’s just wasting your ingredients
How waterproof are the sunscreen bars?
SaraBear78 they are pretty waterproof. Use more beeswax for more waterproofing quality
+Traditional Living I was just about to ask this, lol thanks for the knowlegde hun.
i want this
😍😘 nice madam
can I use for face 💕

So the lotion isn't water proof?
darcy031685 semi-waterproof. Oils do provide a barrier but once they get absorbed into your skin the waterproof layer is basically gone.
darcy031685 add emulsifying wax or bees wax to make it more water resistant
Making DIY sunscreen is a terrible idea. Without lab testing how can you possibly guarantee the SPF or stability of this 'sunscreen'? This tutorial is irresponsible and dangerous. 😡Please do some research before posting recipes such as this one. And to anyone thinking of following this recipe...just don't! There are plenty of natural sunscreens on the market that have been safety assessed. It really is not worth the risk.
