Homemade Sunblock!

This can't be homemade SUNBLOCK?!

Yes it is true! Now days you can make everything homemade, including sunblock. 

Sunblock is very important to wear everyday, it protects the skin from the sun and it also prevents aging of the skin. Many verities of sunblock contain both natural and synthetic ingredients. Some ingredients however can give people allergic reactions. For people with sensitive skin zinc oxide and titanium dioxide is recommended. They also provide broad spectrum protection. 

This is a sample of HOMEMADE SUNBLOCK feel free to try it out at home and see if it works: 

1 tsp. Beeswax

2 tbsp. rose or lavender water

2 tbsp. aloe-vera gel

1 tbsp. shea butter

1 tbsp. unrefined avocado oil

3 tbsp. unrefined sesame oil

2 tbsp. cocoa butter

1 tsp. Soya-lecithin

1 tbsp. walnut or almond oil

1 tbsp. unrefined jojoba oil

20 drops carrot-seed essential oil

1/2 tsp. borax powder

3-5 drops coconut fragrance oil (optional)

Melt the sesame, avocado, almond/walnut and jojoba oil together with the butters and beeswax in a double boiler. Make sure to stir them in a medium heat. When they are melted, add soya-lecithin then stir more to blend them all, then remove the mixture from the heat. In a saucepan, slowly heat up the aloe-vera gel and lavender or rose water. Then, add the borax powder until it mix and dissolves. You can remove the saucepan from the stove.

Put a small saucepan on the top of a bowl with ice in it. Make sure that the water and oil formula is still warm, and about the same temperature. Sprinkle the oil mix while quickly stirring until a cream forms out. Add in the carrot-seed essential oil then coconut fragrance oil (optional). Mix evenly and put it in a clean and airtight jar then refrigerate.

However, you must not use them as your only sunscreen. They only have limited sun protection capacity as far as broad spectrum is concerned.
