DIY Sunscreen - EASY Homemade NATURAL Sunscreen Recipe

- This sunscreen recipe has worked for me for years and its really quick to make up.
Being a Gardener, professionally and leisurely I spend a lot of time outside, I have been using variations of this homemade suncream for at least 4 years now with what I believe to be great success!
I do practice other good habits to protect myself of course as well, like wearing a hat or trying to avoid being in the direct sun for too long when it is at its peak and I ALWAYS apply a good layer of moisturiser to exposed areas at the end of the day to rehydrate and feed my skin.
I know some folk will worry about the proven protection factor and feel that using store bought cream is best and thats fine - for me personally, I'd rather know exactly what it is that I am applying to my skin, particularly when it comes to sensitive and regularly exposed areas like my face.
Just looking at the list of unknown ingredients in many of our bath and beauty products, suncream in particular makes me feel a little uneasy applying all these unknown substances and synthetic chemicals to my skin, so a few years ago I had a good look into it, and created my own Natural DIY Sunscreen Recipe.
There are many carrier and essential oils to choice from that offer so much goodness and nourishment to our skin and that may well have some sun protection factors, my suggestions below are what i've experimented with and researched. I always buy Certified Organic, cold pressed oils and food grade where possible to support best practices and highest quality and I use Non-Nano Zinc Oxide.
We are Dan & Laurie and our land is called Freedom Forest - Its 3 acres in the South of England where we are creating an edible oasis and trying to provide as much for ourselves, from our land as possible, where we are completely off grid.
Our food growing journey began together in 2017 when we created our first No dig lasagne bed. Every year we grow more and more and now we are currently around 60-80% self sufficient in our food needs.
Our style and methods are inspired by permaculture and we try to be thoughtful about how and what we do, to be as gentle on the planet as possible.

Wow im so glad i found this video!!! You channel really is a breath of fresh air!! Bless your heart! And thank u for helping us learn.❤ i wish i could live off grid but i dont really know anyone who is smart enough to want to do this with me . I wish i could meet people who would love to do some type of off grid natural living community where we all help each other.
Thank you for your lovely comment - great to have you with us 💚 There is defo a growing number of communities out there doing off grid/ more sustainable living. Where abouts in the world are you? ✌️🌿
Thanks for the recipe
Most welcome 😊Thanks for watching 🙏✌️🌿
Really important that you use non nano zinc oxide as they particles are larger and less likely to be absorbed into the body and sit on the skin to protect
Absolutely - thank you for pointing that out 🌻 I could of made that clearer for the video, it is the written form of the recipe on our Website and noted in the description. Thanks for watching ✌️🌿
Really interested in this. When you say spf range...what affects the range? Is it volume? Thanks in advance.
Hi Lynette, it was a good few years since I researched, but yes I feel it would also be down to the quality of the oils/product, growning environment - natural variable etc, which are hard to be precise on everytime, as well as the quanity of your mixture. 💚✌️🌿
Interesting. Is it easy to apply? In other words, what is the texture/consistency once ready? Is it like coconut oil, or runnier?
Hi, it is more like Coconut oil - it is quite firm, but melts very easily. You can make it runnier if that is how you prefer by adding more liquid oil and slightly less hard oils. 💚✌️🌿
@@freedomforestlife I guess if it's hot enough for suncream then it's hot enough to melt it a little for application. Thanks!
Can I use this on my child age 6 who has fair skin? How often would you apply it?
HI Rachel, I re apply it every couple of hours or if its washed off, pretty much like normal sun screen - its completely your choice who your would like to use it on, its all natural ingredients. Perhaps try it on yourself first to gauge how you like it/ level of protect you feel it gives and go from there. As with everything homemade, every mixture will vary slightly and depend on how much zinc you add for main sunblock. Thanks for watchiing 💚✌️🌿
Also is there a less comedogenic way of making it? This would surely cause me massive acne.
Might try squalan and sheabutter (both are really oxidations-stable as well, not only non-comedogen)... Sorry for my English, but I guess you'll understand it. 😊
You could try different oil blends for sure if you found this not so good - I chose these for their range of possible natural SPF's and to make it more solid, I can't see any reason why you could use just Hemp seed oil (which is meant to be one of the best for balancing skin) with the zinc and raspberry seed perhaps for extra spf, for example, it would just be runny - or even just half the amount of hard heavier oils if you find them problematic, but would like a slightly solid finished cream. I don't have an issue with it in this way, I only use natural oils on my skin to moisturise daily, so may i am used to it - I do used to find convenstional sumcreams brought me out in spots though sometimes! Enjoy experimenting - its a great way to learn 💚✌️🌿
The store bought sunscreen destroys the coral reefs, another reason to give this a try 🤔
Great point Ross ... Keep things as natural and simple as possible, whenever possible hey 💚 Nature gives us everything we need ✌️🌿
It also gives u skin cancer
