Lotion base ( adjust measurements to your liking)

1/2 cup sweet almond oil or olive oil

(This is a good recipe if making a sunscreen stick)

2 tblsp powdered zinc oxide

YLEOs:

Lavender- 15 drops

Frankincense 10 drops

Carrot seed 20 drops

Peppermint 5 drops

In a double broiler, melt beeswax pellets on medium to low heat. Don't let it boil. Cover it with a lid to speed the process but also stir it occasionally. Add coconut oil and stir it with a chopstick. When that's melted, add Shea or Cocoa butter and gently stir. Remove from heat when it's done melting. Add vit. E oil. Add zinc oxide, then essential oils. Continue stirring. Poor it in containers. Wait for it to cool. Enjoy and don't forget to eat right and drink lots of water! 

 

My daughter Emma prefers this sunscreen to the other diy sunscreen lotion I made.
