Did you know that coconut oil is a sunscreen? Seriously! If you’re headed out for a day of sun and want some UV protection all you need is to grab some coconut oil sunscreen from your kitchen! Coconut oil is the most nutrient dense part of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature like butter. It doesn’t break down in heat or light or become rancid like many oils, and in my opinion has a wonderful tropical smell. On the Next Page we have the best Homemade Coconut Oil Sunscreen Recipe

I have been using just coconut oil and it works great alone. I am fair and burn easily but so far I have had success. Commercial toxic sunscreen makes me itch and dries out my skin.

Do your own research. Most commercial sunscreens have cancer causing ingredients! Just google the long ingredients one at a time – you’ll see that you need a Hazmat suit to handle it! Toxic!

Would you recommend myrrh? I’ve read in dr David Stewarts books that it was used for skin protection from the sun in ancient or Bible times

I’ve read that coconut oil has a SPF of 2-8, but avocado oil 4-15. So would it be better to make this with avocado oil instead??

Carrot seed oil and Raspberry have highest SPF, s. Raspberry covers the uVA and UVB. Badger Balm is highly rated.

Unless you are a chemist there is no way you can make an at home sunscreen yourself that provides protection from the cancer causing uv rays. Yes you may be preventing burns but the most harmful rays are still getting through 🙁

I’ve made this sunscreen for my red headed blue eyed son before he went to Jamaica and Mexico on vacation last year. It works. I used it too in the fourth of July for am entire day in the sun in a day that was a 9 sun index. I didn’t burn at all. I did tan but no burn. I usually can’t be in the sun for long without burning. I have no idea about how it affects vitamin d tho. I’m low in that. Need to up it. I heard taking vitamin d3 is also a protection from sun, idk if it’s true

Why resort to name calling and why be close minded. It’s a rhetorical question. Therefore question mark

I have heard from a nurse friend of mine that there are mineral based sunscreens that aren’t near as toxic and work great. Not great for in the water but good for other uses Mary Redinger Fox more info please☺️

I only use coconut oil for my moisturizer and have not burned this summer except when I travelled without it. Now I know why. But for my tubing trip I think I will add the zinc as I will be in the Arizona sun like a really slow pizza oven and in also in water. I will bring it along and reapply often. I hate toxic sunscreens

I have a recipe and have used it in Myrtle beach, Orlando and key West with not problem what so ever. You need vitamin d to protect you from cancer. If you don’t receive vit D from the sun, you will get sick. Skin cancer has increased with suntan lotion use, since it keeps out vit D.

Syrita Barbera but d can be toxic. It stores in the liver brainiac. Wear sunscreen.
