I made this and it worked so well, my skin even had a glow afterwards. I was truly amazed! I also added raspberry oil and carrot seed oil. Thanks for the recipe.
This recipe definitely works and I've tried it! I live in a hot Mediterranean climate with 35+degrees temperature and we didn't get a sunburn! My fiance is Irish and his skin is much more sensitive to the sun than mine and he didn't get sunburnt with this recipe! People saying that this recipe doesn't work are either lying or didn't buy a quality zinc ingredient. The only thing I would suggest that would be helpful to viewers is that for cleaning up the equipment I recommend using paper towels to clean up the grease from the utensils and bowls because hot water just didn't wash away the cream from the items and was so difficult to remove...but wiping it away as much as possible with papers towels helped ALOT. Thank you for this recipe and I appreciate your channels so much!
Great info!!! My grandson had leukemia and his pediatric oncologist warned us to NEVER put sunscreen on him or ourselves. She said sunscreens are so toxic and actually cause skin cancer and other cancers as well!
I had awesome success trying this on my very fair skinned son. Shared it on my fb so hopefully you will see a few extra followers! Thanks for your channel, I’m learning a lot!
Thanks for the tutorial! I definitely need to try this since it's impossible for me to find a sunscreen that doesn't give me a headache or flare up my asthma.
THANK YOU! Just so you know, right after I watched your video the 1st time a video from a 'PHD' scientist claiming it is irresponsible to make your own sunscreen because it's not made in a lab came on...😂 I had a few choice words for her (kindly of course). I guarantee the pharmaceutical companies are paying her. It is so disturbing how TH-cam & big tech are involved in this movement to destroy our health. Anyway, loved this info & greatly appreciate you for sharing it✌🌻

@@bumblebeeapothecaryThank you! I don't care how many letters you have after your name, but who would think that baking chemicals into your skin is a good idea? Seriously???
Wow thank you so much for this recipe! I love making my own products. I already have the ingredients from making deodorant, body butter, and soap. Now I have another recipe to use them with ❤
I love all your recipes for diy skincare that is good for our health! Thanks so much for sharing to make this world a better place Marissa! I am making this and another recipe soon for my grandkids… just wish I knew how to do it when I was a mom of young kids earlier in my life- you are a blessing!
I love sheabutter and it has great skin care qualities and SPF too. Can I substitute sheabutter for the cocoa butter in your recipe? Great job, kudos for sharing your knowledge on natural remedies!
Hey there! Thanks for this amazing video. Can't wait to make my own. I have acne prone skin so I was just wondering if I could use rosehip oil instead of coconut or olive oil as I can see that breaking me out x
my 1st test was zinc oxide and some regular hand lotion works but it does not last while in water. I trying your recipe next, thanks. and free e-book, thanks.!
Increase the beeswax amount or sub more tallow for one of the liquid oils - tallow stays solid at higher temps and beeswax will give it more stickiness without becoming crumbly.
Hello, Thanks for sharing your method and links to the ingredients. I made the sunscreen and it has too much white colour and doesn't rub in. Do you have any suggestions on how to create the sunblock without the white component? Thank you, Kristina Camaj
Thanks for the recipe. GREAT! It would be much better for your next video if the camera pointed more to the product you are making than (excuse me) you, so we have a perfect instructions view! THANKS AGAIN!
That's a good idea, those would add some nice antioxidants. Technically, though, it doesn't contain water so preservation isn't as much of a concern. But it wouldn't hurt!
Thank you so much for sharing! I had no idea it's so easy and safe to make sunscreen at home! I'll defo make my own sunscreen for this summer based on your recipe. Just one question: are you aware of any substitute for beeswax and/or if I can skip it? Thank you!!
Do you add Zinc Oxide in before adding the heat? I watched so many DIY video, most of them add Zinc Oxide right at the end when the oil and beeswax are not as hot. So do you think overheating won't change the element in Zinc oxide?
I don't think it changes the elements, but adding it last after the oils have cooled some would help it stay suspended and not settle to the bottom as it cools :)
Zinc oxide is produced when molten zinc gets too hot and combines with oxygen - the heat used to make this is nowhere near that temp and would have zero effect on it.
Thank you for the video, it's very helpful. I will try to make this next week. I have very sensitive skin, all the sunscreens on market makes my skin breaks in hives and itchy. How long can this sunscreen last ?does it need to be in the fridge or room temperature is fine?. I also watched one of other TH-cam videos saying it needs to be in the fridge and lasts for 10-12 days. I can't travel with that. 😃 Thanks again.
WHAT LABELS DO YOU USE FOR THE SILCONE TUBES. I USE ONLINE WATERPROOF LABELS I TRIED USING THE ONLINE LABELS AND THEY WON'T STICK. I ALSO TRYED USING AVERY LABELS. WHAT KIND OF LABELS DO YOU USE THAT WILL STICK AND LOOK NICE. I REALLY LIKE YOUR RECEIPE FOR THE SUNSCREEN
I made this and it worked so well, my skin even had a glow afterwards. I was truly amazed! I also added raspberry oil and carrot seed oil. Thanks for the recipe.

Can you mention these ingredients i didn't understand properly

U can find it in the description
How did you make yours? I did the carrot seed aryan oil mixture and I am as red as a tomato currently lol.

Irish people tend to turn into red tomatoes in the Mediterranean sun ... then it worked well for you 😊 ... ps. No offence ❤

Love your plaque on your wall! "The Lord is my strength and sheild" Amen!! 💞
Thank you! :)
Tip: measure out the beeswax alone. Melt it-first, then remove from heat and add remaining ingredients ❤️ (place a heat pad on scale)
Thanks!

it's business. of course, they discourage DIY formula. it's your skin. it's for personal use. why do they care?

So, someone who actually has an education on spf and the actual ability to give advice on sunscreens and spfs is the one you're mad at?

Thank you for the information 🙏💌
You're welcome! :)
Wow, this stuff is water proof for sure! Anyone have a suggestion for getting it off my dishes? How do you wash it off the body?
Heat it up and then wipe most of it off with a paper towel. Any remaining residue should come off with some good degreaser soap!

Thank you we love you
Thank you for this recipe. My daughter and I are making it today. 😊
You're welcome! :)
Thank you!
Thank you so much 🫶
You're welcome! :)
Hi,
What are the percentage? I don’t want to make so much.
Very easy to work out. 5 items of equal size. So 100% ÷5 gives you 20% of each ingredient 😊
Should mention ingredients quentity
This is so wholesome ❤
Thank you!
How about tallow
my 1st test was zinc oxide and some regular hand lotion works but it does not last while in water. I trying your recipe next, thanks. and free e-book, thanks.!
How did it go making the sunscreen? How do you wash it off your body? How do you get it off the dishes you made it in? Help!
Could you use other oils like jojoba?
Love You woman!!!
how do you know the spf of the sunscreen?
How can we make it to tent the skin
If I use shea butter instead of cocoa butter would it be gross to add eucalyptus or lemon oil for fragrance
Can I use mango butter instead of cocoa butter.
What could you add to harden this? I'm looking for something to make it stickier for surfing
Increase the beeswax amount or sub more tallow for one of the liquid oils - tallow stays solid at higher temps and beeswax will give it more stickiness without becoming crumbly.
How many uses can you get out of this recipe? Just wondering bc I have a big family
Beautiful, thanks so much.
Great. I just bought a sunscreen and then I saw something about benzene that scared the S out of me. Thanks for sharing
Can I add tallow into this recipe it is one half of coconut oil?
Loved this..
As you added water, does it need a preservative?
How many days we store at room temperature and what preservatives we used for it
Hello,
Thanks for sharing your method and links to the ingredients. I made the sunscreen and it has too much white colour and doesn't rub in. Do you have any suggestions on how to create the sunblock without the white component?

It's common for it to not rub in if you're using too much. I would try using less :)

You should write all the ingredients . where will I get beeswax and zinc oxide
Can i add flexseed oil and 2 vitamin E capsule for preservation....
That's a good idea, those would add some nice antioxidants. Technically, though, it doesn't contain water so preservation isn't as much of a concern. But it wouldn't hurt!
Thank you for this video. I wanted to get the free ebook, but it is not free😢
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Is there an alternative to coconut oil? We have a coconut allergy in the family.
Great question! You can use tallow or shea butter :)
Would love to read the book.
Thank you so much for sharing! I had no idea it's so easy and safe to make sunscreen at home! I'll defo make my own sunscreen for this summer based on your recipe.
Just one question: are you aware of any substitute for beeswax and/or if I can skip it? Thank you!!
You're welcome! The beeswax makes it waterproof, so you could leave it out if you don't need it to be waterproof. Or you could try candelilla wax :)
Hi shelf life of this pls?
How long does it last ? Very good video. Thanks.
Thanks! In my experience it lasts around a year :)
Thanks for your reply. I made sun cream but it turns really hard and it’s too white when you apply on the face. Can you tell me what is the reason
Hiya does anyone know roughly what spf this would be?
What spf can you call it?
I have a brick of beeswax from the bee farm...can i use that? If so, how much?
I can’t locate your Etsy. Please share link
Hi I don’t know if you’ll see this since it’s so late but can I use candelila wax instead of beeswax?
Do you add Zinc Oxide in before adding the heat? I watched so many DIY video, most of them add Zinc Oxide right at the end when the oil and beeswax are not as hot. So do you think overheating won't change the element in Zinc oxide?
I don't think it changes the elements, but adding it last after the oils have cooled some would help it stay suspended and not settle to the bottom as it cools :)
Thank you for asking this question. I was wondering the same.
zinc oxide has the melting point over 1600°C, there won't be any elemental changes, atleast I guess.
Zinc oxide is produced when molten zinc gets too hot and combines with oxygen - the heat used to make this is nowhere near that temp and would have zero effect on it.
Hi how long will this last before it expires and how should it be stored thankyou
Thank you and your daughter is cute 🥰
Aww thanks :)
Would this recipe leave a white cast?
Can use another vegan wax? If so which? Thanks
Hi Marisa. Thank you for all your videos and amazing recipes!
Could I use avocado oil instead of argan and carrot seed oil??
Thank you for sharing! This is a game changer for me
hi do you charge now for the 'free' ebook? thanks
I want to make this but my child is allergic to coconut. If i use an alternative will it still be as effective?
Do you have a tallow sunscreen too? Thanks

What sunscreen amount/level/strength is this?
Can you use olive oil alone?

Counut oil
hi, thank for the video.. could I do it without beeswax and coco butter? would the ratio change?
You could try, but the beeswax provides the waterproof property, and without the cocoa butter it would be much softer. Hope that helps!

Is there any chance to make a homemade sunscreen without zinc oxide?

@@Jamesmiller1998 sounds more scary than the first one, thank you anyway
Thank you for the recipe. So this amount will make one 2-3 ounce (by volume) jar?
This recipes makes 8 fl. oz. :)
Can you double all the ingredients to make more at once? thank you xx
Yes you can!
Thank you, very good video!Does it get very white and sticky on the face though?
Right, if you use the correct amount and rub it in, it goes on sheer 😊
White and sticky ;) *ok I’ll stop-*

Hi! I would like to ask, for olive oil, do we use cold pressed virgin or those for cooking?
The ones for skin I would assume! 😊
Thank you is it greasy
I wouldn’t describe it as greasy, but it does have the characteristics of the ingredients: cocoa butter, coconut oil, argan oil, etc. 😊
How long does it last once made? I mean if there would be an expiration on manufacturing date? Thanks :-)
The oils should be good for up to a year. They may go rancid after that. Hope that helps!
