    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!

    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✌🌻

    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?

    • @BumblebeeApothecary
      @BumblebeeApothecary  4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      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 has the melting point over 1600°C, there won't be any elemental changes, atleast I guess.

    • @amariahg5450
      @amariahg5450 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.

    How did you determine that this cream has an SPF of at least 30?
    A DIY sunscreen is so dangerous. How do you stable the ph-value? How do you distribute the zink oxide without a coting?
    This is not safe for babies, kids or even adults.

      It's worked great for us for years. That is the combined SPF of the individual level for each of the ingredients. I recently tried a store bought natural version, and it didn't work as well as my own.

      @@lova368 It doesn't matter that you added 15% spf solution to your base, because depending on formulating (and many other factors), the spf level at the end may be even at 0. It's dangerous to use a diy sunscreen. It always contains oil with can lead to sun burn or just sun related skin damage in future (fact that you don't see any negative results right now, doesn't mean that they are non). It's even more dangerous if you put it on babies. Very important thing also is that zinc poorly formulated just doesn't protect the skin. It's impossible for someone at home to make SAFE SPF. Just use right ones, that are already tested, well formulated, with ingredients that suit you. Don't even try to do DIY ones, coz you may pay for it in the future.

      You’re wrong because the MAIN ingredient IN sunscreens is Zinc Oxide...go ahead and indulge yourself in the machination of products containing carcinogenic additives and preservatives others are in here to learn because they’re intelligent & open minded and don’t just go ally with paid advertisements or companies that own the manufacturers of sunscreen which is probably Big Pharma amd dermatologists lol...and the cure for skin cancer is a salve I can make that o made and cured by dads skin cancer entirely...

    I've tried a different sunscreen recipe and not really happy with the heavy oily feeling on my skin. I think i'm going to really enjoy your recipe, I look forward to trying it. I was wondering can I get away without using cocoa butter? And if so, should I compensate with more of something else?

    • @maj5192
      @maj5192 4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You can add more coconut oil, substitute with tallow, babassu, lard, shea or mango butter (any hard butter/oil).

    • @BumblebeeApothecary
      @BumblebeeApothecary  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, you can substitute with another hard fat, and it should work. Tallow is a great option :)

      You could try, but the beeswax provides the waterproof property, and without the cocoa butter it would be much softer. Hope that helps!
