Homemade Sunscreen

Not sure how this would save you any money, but another girlfriend was jsut chatting about this on my mommy-board so I thought I would share!

You'll need the following ingredients to make sunscreen:

• 8oz carrier. oil - olive, sunflower, jojoba, soybean - your choice
• 1oz emulsifing wax
• Sunblocking agent - zinc oxide or titanium dioxide - available online
• Essential oils of your choice (opt.) - I used geranium and sweet orange

The following tools make the job easier:

• Mixer - either handheld mixer, submersible blender, or mini chopper - NOT TO BE USED FOR FOOD AFTERWARDS
• Silicone spatula
• Pastry bag or plastic baggie
• Container for your lotion
• Scale for accurate measuring
• Gloves and a mask for handling powdered agents

In order to prepare your personal sunscreen it is important first to be aware that zinc oxide or titanium dioxide are products that should not be inhaled. Always wear gloves and a mask.
