Hey, I am also very much afraid of using market products which are full of chemicals! This recepie is definetly going to help me a lot. Thanks a lot :)
I think the container itself needs to be 3oz or smaller as well per the TSA regulation, but you can put it into multiple 3oz containers as long as it all fits into a one quart clear bag. Don't quote me on this, you can look it up online, TSA lists the liquid guideline online pretty clearly.
@@jarbafarnaz7999 rubbing it in a lot can help with the white tones. Even on my white skin it does require more rubbing in than store bought creams. That being said one option you have if you have a really dark tone would be to add cocoa powder, that would help darken the color naturally.
@@TheDuvallHomestead Wow adding cocoa powder! I'm tan actually like the brown Indian. Thanks a lot for such an idea! I will update you on the amount of cocoa powder ratio after I use this. you are such a lifesaver 💚
i always hated using sunscreen because i hate the idea of putting potentially toxic, harsh chemicals on my skin and near my mouth and eyes. I think i'm going to love using this. It looks like it could even be a daily moisturizer during off seasons with a little less zinc for light sun protection. thanks for sharing this!
Yes! It is based on my homemade lotion recipe, which is basically the same thing without zinc. Or like you said just really light zinc if you want to use it for light protection. We love this stuff!
Thank you! I break down the SPF of each ingredient here: theduvallhomestead.com/homemade-sunscreen-safe-for-babies/ but for comparison to store bought sunscreens to me this feels like about SPF 20. However, the more zinc, the more SPF. So if you want a higher SPF or you’re spending just more more time in the sun, you can either add more zinc to the recipe or just reapply the sunscreen every few hours. That’s what we do and it works great, no burns for us.
For a hot in full sun day, I would say 2 to 3 times. For intermittent and light sun I will probably just do once. Kind of have to figure out what works for you.
I love how you make so much homemade beauty products!
Thank you! It becomes easy when you have all the same ingredients just different ratios.
I'm Kenyan so it's sunshine everyday this will do me good
Oh yeah definitely!
Oh my goodness I am so glad I found this! I have been having the hardest time finding a natural sunscreen, this is awesome!
@@jodijoy1303 I hope you enjoy it! ☀️
Thank you! I made some today using another recipe. I find it a little oily so I think yours will be much better. Thank you for sharing

@@3v388 yes that’s right. But my container was bigger even though the liquid was small. Learned a hard lesson that day 😆
I dont see how long til you need to re-apply?
@@AndreaOliveri-u6x if the sun is very strong and you’re out all day then every three hours or so. Or you go swimming reapply after swimming
If you please mention the measurement of this sunscreen then it will be convenient for me to make it
@@GreenButterfly-np5wq find all the details here! theduvallhomestead.com/homemade-sunscreen-safe-for-babies/
@@TheDuvallHomestead is it only for babies??
@@GreenButterfly-np5wq no not at all, my whole family uses it 😊
I was wondering what could be substatuted for the coconut oil? I have someone in the family severely allergic to coconut.
I would omit it completely then, you should still be fine! Add more shear butter and avocado or olive oil.
Thanks for this great recipe!! Can this be used as regular face sunblock?
Yep!!
@@TheDuvallHomestead awesome 🤩 thanks
is this okay for more rich skintones? I'm brown and reapplying sunscreens made with zinc oxide, leaves a horrible whitecaste in my face or skin

@@jarbafarnaz7999 yes let me know and I’ll add it to the post 😊
pls share the quantity to be used for each
@@geetikamoudgil you can find the recipe here: theduvallhomestead.com/homemade-sunscreen-safe-for-babies/
Im in the UK, avocado oil is it the same as avocado oil for cooking?
Yep!
Hi, I have seen people add cinnamon for a tinted homemade moisturiser, if I add cinnamon to this would if alter the effectiveness at all? Thank you
Yes you can add cinnamon or cocoa powder to this!

They are in the blog post! theduvallhomestead.com/homemade-sunscreen-safe-for-babies
Sorry but I didn't see how good this will last until you'd have to re-apply?
@@AndreaOliveri-u6x about every three hours if you are in full sun all day, or after you have gone swimming
@@TheDuvallHomestead thank you 😊
Can we use mango butter instead of cocoa butter? Thank you so much for the recipe!!
Yes absolutely 👍🏻
This is amazing! Do you know how much SPF is in this mixture?

If we are going back and forth how many times we should put this on in a day
For a hot in full sun day, I would say 2 to 3 times. For intermittent and light sun I will probably just do once. Kind of have to figure out what works for you.
dont forget to mention you need non nano zinc oxide, great vid thanks
Yes! 💯
Is this an absolute need or can you use regular Zinc oxide powder? @@TheDuvallHomestead
