August 1, 2012 | Filed under: Environment,Health,Life,News | Posted by:

In this episode we teach you how to make your own high spf, water proof sunblock from organic and natural ingredients for pennies on the dollar compared to buying it off the shelf. Ingredients include- zinc oxide (sunblocking agent), coconut oil (soothes and conditions skin), bee’s wax (waterproofing agent), and tea tree oil (soothes and repairs skin and smells good too). Rub on and paddle out.

    I’ve been consuming hemp oil daily for 3 months and have been in the sun regularly (with a base tan to start) without the need for sunblock, as I read hemp oil (used to be called vitamin F) helps with the processing of Vitamin D3 (Sun’s energy)… I have had excellent results, with the brownest tan I have ever had!!! Oh and I live in Southwest Florida, where the sun is quite strong… ;^)

    Coconut oil should not be heated to a high temperature; it becomes full of free radicals. Instead, I’d suggest melting the beeswax, then reducing the temperature greatly before adding the other ingredients. Beating swiftly will produce enough heat to melt coconut oil, so perhaps add the zinc oxide at a moderate temp and then add the coconut oil and tea tree oil when it’s almost cool.
    Otherwise, great recipe.

    Wonderful idea:) I just have two small questions. In the video you were specific about the amounts of every ingredient except the tea tree oil, but from what I gathered of the video it looked to be a teaspoon or so. Is that correct? And my second question follows in tandem with the first: are there other oils like say, lavender oil that would be equally effective or is there something specific to tea tree oil that require the recipe not be altered?
    Oops, a third question just popped up, lol! Is zinc oxide readily available in the pharmacy area of most grocery stores? That’s not something I’ve ever bought before.
