That is so great. Every year I buy sun screen, never use it all and buying new product the following year. With this, I can make what I will use in a season. Plus the commercial sunscreen burns my eyes! Now if I can find the ingredients...

Thanks for posting

cosmetic-making ingredients at BulkApothecary.com

I get a lot of great cosmetic-making ingredients at Bulk Apothecary at discount prices.

Don't forget to use discount codes like savings10 for 10% off.

Wow, that sounds great! I make my own body butter with coconut oil, shea butter, and coco butter. It will be easy to modify for sunscreen. Thanks for sharing!

Very cool! Here's a link to the exact recipe: http://sportzedge.com/2013/08/10/how...own-sunscreen/

I have been making my own toothpaste and deodorant lately, so this will be good to add to the mix. Also, if I break down and buy beeswax, I can start making my own mascara, too.

Thanks so much for the link! This is awesome!
I am definitely going to make this. In fact I just ordered 2 of the ingredients that I needed.

What does it say about me that I have all those ingredients in stock? However, I don't like oily sunscreens and will keep using my water resistant dry spray for my fun in the sun.

I didn't watch the video. Does it state what the SPF strength is, approximately?
