recipecommunityDIY Homemade Coconut Sunscreen with Shea Butter
1/2 oz. beeswax pastilles
1/4 c. shea butter
1/4 c. coconut oil
2 tbsp Zinc Oxide Powder
Combine the shea butter and coconut oil in a double boiler and melt down before adding the beeswax. Remove from heat and pour into another bowl. Blend with a hand blender on medium and slowly add in the 2 tbsp zinc powder. Blend until well combined and there are no clumps. Let cool to room temperature and you’ve got sunscreen. Store in a jar in a cool, dark cupboard for up to 1 month.
This homemade sunscreen is a bit different from the store bought kind. It needs to be rubbed in with some vigor to avoid white streaks.
