DIY All-Natural Sunscreen

Ingredients

1/3 cup Shea butter
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/4 cup organic beeswax beads
3/4 Tbsp Zinc oxide

Directions

1. Heat beeswax and shea butter in a glass jar (use double boiler or microwave on 50%). Heat until nearly melted. 
2. Add coconut oil. Heat until melted. USE CAUTION JAR IS HOT!
3. Stir contents until well blended. Add zinc oxide powder. (Safety note: you should wear a mask or bandanna around your mouth and nose when working with zinc oxide powder to avoid inhaling the particles. Once blended into oil the risk is eliminated.)
4. Using a immersion blender (or I use my hand mixer with just one beater installed), blend your lotion until smooth. 
5. Allow to cool to a solid form.

This lotion will work as a terrific sunscreen, it is also used as an effective underarm deodorant, and highly effective cream for rashes and quick healing of pimples/acne. I have modified this recipe based on one I found for diaper rash cream. :) This is a stronger version of my original sunscreen blend. I do like the original blend better for deodorant, but this version is much less runny. It has the consistency of a thick paste.
