To make a small jar of Earth Remedy Natural Sunscreen: 1/2 cup of 100% pure aloe (preferably organic) – it should be globby, like it came fresh out of the plant. 20 drops carrot seed oil OR raspberry seed oil – (raspberry seed oil has a higher SPF if that is what you are looking for) 5 tbsp coconut oil – in its thick form (leave on counter to get warm so you can easily stir in) 3 capsules of Vitamin E oil (break open the capsules) or hemp seed oil (2 tbsp) 5 drops of Lavender oil Aloe Vera Gel aloe vera gel reflects as much as 20 percent of the sun’s harmful UV rays. It is also an amazing medicinal herb. We slather aloe on us daily regardless of going out in the sun. It’s protective, moisturizing, alkaline and your liver loves to absorb it! Carrot Seed Oil has an SPF between 20 and 40 naturally. Coconut Oil BLOCKS about 20% of UV rays. Native Pacific Islanders have been using coconut oil for thousands of years! Coconut oil protects the body from sunburn and skin cancer without blocking the beneficial UV radiation. So it actually doesn’t rely on blocking out the sun’s rays, the beauty of this oil works by preventing free-radical reactions which lead to all the consequences caused by overexposure to the sun. So the SPF number of coconut oil doesn’t really mean anything. Vitamin E is great for the skin – this ingredient can be left out if you choose. We sometimes leave it out. Lavender Oil has a small SPF, but has a great smell and amazing healing properties (anti-septic, anti-stress, pain relieving). Absorbing this oil can be very good for you. Stir it all up in bowl and place into a sterile jar! Apply often! Make sure you give it a test run too, everybody’s skin is different! Still be careful if you are spending the whole day in the sun. TIP! Don’t rub anything into your skin that you wouldn’t eat!! TIP! No you don’t have to refrigerate it!
